Davis Hopper Yellow is a dry fly designed to imitate a grasshopper – a large terrestrial insect that frequently finds its way onto the water from grassy vegetation along the banks. Its characteristic profile makes it a good choice for surface fishing during the warmer months, when grasshoppers are active and become an important part of the fish's diet.
Grasshoppers are particularly important seasonal food around meadows, grassy areas and overgrown banks. Davis Hopper is an excellent choice for presenting close to the bank, where fish expect larger terrestrial insects to fall into the water from the surrounding vegetation.
The size 8 hook makes it well suited to imitating a relatively large grasshopper and to situations when fish are looking for larger food items on the surface.
Best for: Trout, Grayling, Chub
Ideal conditions: Warm months, areas with grassy and overgrown banks, surface feeding situations.
