Hopper – Stone Hopper

Hopper – Stone Hopper

A realistic and highly visible terrestrial pattern, the Stone Hopper combines a natural hair body and wings with a parachute post for improved balance and easy tracking on the water. Designed to imitate large grasshoppers, this fly presents a lifelike profile that trout readily recognize.

Ideal for fishing along banks, grassy edges, and structure, the Stone Hopper performs well in a variety of summer conditions. Its buoyant design and visibility also make it a strong choice for dry-dropper setups.
