Natalie Vaughan –
Used this hopper during a weekend trip to the mountains. The fly stayed visible even in moving water, and fish took it consistently. A reliable pattern for dry fly fishing.
Lucas Ellison –
Felt like a solid choice for early season fishing. It floats well and is easy to cast. A bit heavy for long casts, but works well in tight spots.
Sophie Baker –
Caught several trout on this hopper during a morning session. The buoyancy made it stand out in the current, and fish were quick to react.
