Product Details

A buoyant, super-visible hopper for banks and broken water. The Tentwing Hopper (Parachute) pairs a realistic tent-style wing with a parachute post and hackle for a stable, high-riding footprint that’s easy to track and deadly on summer trout. When it excels: Late spring through early fall; windy afternoons; grassy banks, undercuts, foam lines, and riffle edges Why it works: Tent-wing silhouette screams “hopper” while the parachute post/hackle keeps it upright and visible; soft landings and leggy motion trigger confident eats Pack size: 3 flies Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook); opportunistic river smallmouth Ready to fish: Durable tie with consistent proportions; high-visibility post for easy tracking How to fish it Dead-drift tight to banks with purposeful “plops” near grass and cut banks; add subtle twitches to wake fish. Run as a dry-dropper with 16–24" of 4–5X to a small nymph or midge. Shorten leaders to 7.5–9 ft in pocket water; step down tippet in ultra-clear conditions...
