The Dinner Bell for Big Fish.
When the summer sun beats down and the banks are alive with grasshoppers, it's time to tie on a Foam Hopper. There is nothing more exciting in fly fishing than watching a big trout or bass aggressively smash a topwater terrestrial, and our Foam Hopper Assortment is designed to make that happen.
Each fly in this set is engineered to perfection. The dense, multi-layered foam body ensures it lands with an irresistible "splat," signaling an easy, high-protein meal. Unlike traditional flies, it won't become waterlogged, allowing you to make perfect drifts all day long. The lively silicone legs provide constant, subtle movement, while the high-vis wing ensures you never lose sight of your fly, even in choppy water.
How to Fish It:
Cast the Foam Hopper tight against the bank, under overhanging trees, or anywhere a real hopper might accidentally fall in. Let it sit for a moment, then give it a slight twitch to imitate a struggling insect. This fly is the undisputed king of the "Hopper-Dropper" rig. Use it as your top fly and tie a 2-3 foot section of tippet from the hook bend to your favorite nymph. The hopper acts as a buoyant strike indicator, and you'll catch fish on both the dry fly and the nymph. This assortment gives you the colors you need to match the hatch or simply stand out.
