The Mini Hopper dry fly is an ideal pattern for those grassy edges on meadow streams in summer when the hoppers are just starting to turn up. These little dry flies are tied on a #14 hook, with a bullet head and foam body to ensure maximum buoyancy with minimum size. The Bleached elk wing is an ideal sighter, as it stands out on the water’s surface, and the hot orange underbody and legs do the job to ensure the trout see the Mini Hopper. Offered here as Eugene ties them small, compact, leggy and with a hot as hell underbody, so they really stand our on the water, its a fly that is ideally suited to Australian meadow streams and pocket water creeks all through the hotter months. Now sold as single units per hook size. Buy as few or as many as you like! Of course, if you want to tie this pattern yourself, Troutlore offers all the quality materials for this pattern. Vagabond Flies are tied by Eugene O’Dell, who’s lived and fished all around Australia of the years, yet is now located in New South Wales. His patterns have been put to the test over the years and refined to work with the best materials available and to better perform in Australian conditions. This fly pattern is tied on quality hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box for all times of the the stream season. Sizes showing as “In Stock” represent flies that are ready to ship immediately. Any sizes showing as “Available to Backorder” will be tied after completed payment of order. This usually requires a 10-14 day turnaround depending on the current tying queue at Joe’s Flies. Your complete order will be shipped as one after all flies have been tied. We will contact you is further unforeseen delays arise with a fly order.
