X-True Flying Hopper Yellow is a dry fly designed to imitate a flying grasshopper – a large terrestrial insect that frequently finds its way onto the water from grassy vegetation along the banks. Its yellow coloration creates a bright and highly visible profile, making it an interesting choice for surface fishing during the warmer months.
Grasshoppers are an important seasonal food source for trout, grayling and chub, particularly around meadows, grassy areas and overgrown banks. X-True Flying Hopper Yellow is well suited to presenting close to the bank, where fish expect larger insects to fall into the water from surrounding vegetation.
The yellow version provides a useful alternative to green and darker patterns when conditions or the available natural food call for a lighter, more contrasting profile.
Best for: Trout, Grayling, Chub
Ideal conditions: Warm months, areas with grassy and overgrown banks, surface feeding situations.
