FAQ
What is the best way to use this fly in the field?
Use it as a dry fly or as a dry dropper. When no hatch is visible, it can act as an attractor to draw in trout. It’s especially effective when fished as a hopper on Western trout streams.
Is this fly suitable for use in cold or windy conditions?
Yes, the foam body provides good buoyancy and stability, making it effective in variable conditions. However, it may float more in strong winds, so adjust your presentation accordingly.
Can this fly be used with other fly types in a mix?
Yes, it works well as a standalone pattern or paired with other flies in a dry dropper setup to increase attraction and cover more feeding zones.

This fly performs well in dry dropper setups on clear mountain streams. The foam holds shape and floats naturally. I’ve used it when there’s no hatch and it consistently draws in trout. Easy to tie and reliable in the field.

Good attractor when no insects are hatching. Works well as a hopper on cutthroat streams. A bit more buoyant than expected, but that’s fine for dry dropper fishing. Slightly less durable than some foam flies, but still effective.

Used this fly during a dry season with no hatch. It attracted several trout and kept them interested. The foam body stays intact and doesn’t break easily. Great value for a single pattern.
