Mossy Creek Fly Fishing Verified independent store

This fly uses dubbing to form the hopper shaped body. The red flash tail serves as a "hot spot" and the rubber legs provide balance and movement. The elk wing and parachute post gi ve a realistic profile and makes it very easy to see on the water. Hopper dry fly fishing is about as good as it gets in the late summer and fall when the grasshoppers are plentiful and the warm winds are blowing them out of the grass into the streams. Fish key in on these big dry flies due to the abundance of calories in one big hopper. On open grassland rivers in the West, there is no better time of the year. Try fishing this very visible parachute dry fly pattern anytime you see hoppers in the grass near rivers. Show more
