The Boy Wonder Hopper in size 8 delivers a bold, attention-grabbing profile that mimics the larger grasshoppers most active during late summer and early fall. Its wide foam body and swept wings sit high on the surface, making it easy to see and highly attractive to opportunistic trout. The oversized rubber legs create excellent surface disturbance, imitating the frantic movements of a real grasshopper trying to escape. Perfect for fishing along wind-blown banks, tall grass lines, and undercut edges, this fly triggers explosive eats when conditions call for big meals. It also performs exceptionally well as an indicator fly in dry-dropper rigs, capable of suspending heavier nymphs while staying visible and riding high. This is the hopper you reach for when trout want a mouthful and you're hunting for aggressive strikes.
