Hopper – Moorish

Hopper – Moorish

The Moorish Hopper is a versatile and highly effective terrestrial fly pattern designed to imitate the large grasshoppers trout aggressively target throughout the summer months. Built with a dense foam body, synthetic legs, and realistic wing profile, this pattern delivers exceptional buoyancy, durability, and visibility on the water.

Perfect for fishing grassy banks, meadow streams, undercut structure, and pocket water, the Moorish Hopper performs in a wide range of conditions where terrestrials are active. Its realistic silhouette and high-floating design make it an excellent standalone dry fly or the ideal top fly in a dry-dropper setup.

Whether drifting tight to the bank or skating across riffles, the Moorish Hopper consistently draws explosive surface strikes from opportunistic trout.
