Dave's Hopper

Dave’s Hopper is a realistic grasshopper imitation that’s fooled trout for decades. With its clipped deer hair body and rubber legs, it lands softly and floats naturally—even in windy conditions.

A great option for warm summer afternoons when terrestrials are landing on the water with regularity.

A top pick for hopper enthusiasts who value subtle realism.
