Bibio Hopper by Fulling Mill
Tassie fishing guide Bill Beck on his Bibio Hopper pattern…
The best nondescript fly in my box. Will take fish blind and takes them on duns, chironomids, beetles etc. If I could only fish one fly – this would be it. Use a floating fly line.
Our View
This is a super effective fly fished to rising fish or slowly retrieved.

This fly works consistently in slow retrieves. I’ve used it on several streams and it’s been taken by trout on duns and chironomids. Simple design, no fuss, and it performs well in the current.

Fished it during a dry season and caught fish on a slow drag. It’s one of the most reliable patterns I have in my box. Works well in both still and moving water.

Good for beginners and experienced anglers alike. The hopper action mimics natural insects and keeps fish interested. A little more weight than expected, but still effective.
