The Chopper Hopper floats well and looks realistic. I’ve used it in clear streams and it’s been caught on several trout. The tuft helps with visibility and the segmented body is very natural.

Great for dry fly fishing in early morning. The foam stays afloat and the rubber legs give it a solid feel. Works well in moderate current.

I’ve tried several foam flies, and this one stands out. The tan wing and bright tuft make it easy to see in the water. Very effective in trout streams.
