X-True Flying Hopper Green is a dry fly designed to imitate a flying grasshopper – a large terrestrial insect that frequently finds its way onto the water from vegetation along the banks. Its green coloration gives the pattern a natural appearance and makes it a good choice for surface fishing during the warmer months.
Grasshoppers are an important seasonal food source for trout, grayling and chub, particularly around grassy areas, meadows and overgrown banks. X-True Flying Hopper Green is well suited to presenting close to the bank, where fish expect larger insects to fall into the water from the surrounding vegetation.
Best for: Trout, Grayling, Chub
Ideal conditions: Warm months, areas with grassy and overgrown banks, surface feeding situations.
