I’ve used this hopper in several trout streams and it consistently draws bites. The action mimics natural insects well and works especially well in slow-moving water. Easy to tie and durable.

Good quality material and the size range fits most situations. A bit heavier than expected, but it holds up well in the water and gets noticed by fish.

This is a reliable pattern for both dry fly and nymph presentations. I noticed a significant increase in strikes after switching to this version.
