The Phat Azz Hopper performs well when fished near the bank. The tan color blends naturally with the surroundings and the wide underbody keeps it stable in the water. I’ve used it with a dropper setup and it works well for trout in slow-moving streams.
Deirdre Bower –
It’s a solid choice for close-range fishing. The realistic look helps when targeting fish near the shore. A bit heavier than expected, but it stays in place well during casting.
Dan Grant –
Great for suspending a dropper. The tan shade matches the natural environment and the fly doesn’t sink or flip easily. Works well in both still and moving water.
