A nice hopper with great proportions, realistic legs, and a convenient hot spot. Tied on a size 8 hook.

The Double Foam Hopper is a buoyant terrestrial dry fly with a strong hopper profile and reliable float. Its foam construction helps it ride well through broken water while staying visible to the angler.

This pattern is useful along grassy banks, riffles, seams, pocket water, and summer feeding lanes where trout are watching for hoppers or other terrestrials. The hot spot helps with visibility while the body keeps a realistic surface profile.

Fish it tight to banks, under overhanging grass, through riffles, or as the top fly in a dry dropper rig. It is a practical choice when trout are looking up and you need a hopper that floats well.

FAQs

Frequently asked,
all answered.

What does the Double Foam Hopper imitate?


The Double Foam Hopper imitates a grasshopper or big terrestrial bug that has bounced, blown, or fumbled its way into trout water. The double foam body gives it a chunky profile and plenty of float, so it looks like a high-calorie surface meal instead of another tiny river snack.

When should I fish a Double Foam Hopper?


Fish it in summer through early fall, especially along grassy banks, meadow streams, windy shorelines, undercut edges, and slower seams beside faster water. Hopper fishing gets especially fun when bankside bugs are active and trout are already watching the edges like little aquatic security guards.

How should I fish the Double Foam Hopper?


Cast it close to the bank, let it land with a soft plop, then give it a natural drift. A tiny twitch can help, but do not overdo it. Real hoppers kick and struggle, then drift helplessly, which is exactly the kind of bad life planning trout appreciate.

Why use a double foam hopper instead of a slimmer hopper pattern?


The double foam design gives the fly extra buoyancy, visibility, and durability in broken water. It can float through riffles, ride over chop, and support a small dropper nymph underneath. Basically, it is a hopper with flotation confidence and zero fear of commitment.

Can I fish the Double Foam Hopper in a dry-dropper rig?

Yes. The Double Foam Hopper is a great top fly for a dry-dropper setup because it floats well and is easy to see. Trail a small nymph, ant, beetle, or drowned terrestrial behind it, and you can cover both surface-feeding trout and fish eating just below the top.
