Hoppers & Crickets
Single Malt Cicada
Catch big fish with this Cicada fly pattern. On the Green River, the Cicada fly hatch is one of the best times of the year, beginning in early May and lasting into June.
Schroeder's Parachute Hopper
Hopper dry fly fishing is about as good as it gets in the late summer and fall when the grasshoppers are plentiful and the warm winds are blowing them out of the grass into the streams.
Schroeder's Hi-Vis Hopper
Ed Schroeder is a great fly tier, but he has terrible eyesight. That's a good thing, because he creates some of the best high visibility grasshopper flies there are.
Dave's Hopper
Dave's hopper fly is a great, classic dry fly that imitates a grasshopper and gets big strikes from trout. Fish this dry fly along the banks during the height of summer for the best action.
JDS Kicker Cricket
A very realistic cricket fly pattern with a high floating foam body and realistic legs and antennae.
Green Leaf Hopper Dry
This is a spectacular, turquoise green plant hopper that lives in damp places, usually in marshes in the wild on emergent rushes and sedges at the water's edge.
Tube Hopper
Smaller hooks minimize damage to aggressive fish. Shorter shanks give fish less leverage to work the hook out.
Thompson's AF Hopper
Floatation is not a problem with this foam hopper in both tan and olive. These foam hopper flies are virtually indestructible and should be in every angler's fly box.
Chernobyl Ant
On big Western rivers when the wind is blowing and the terrestrials are out, there is nothing better than slamming the banks with big hopper and ant fly patterns. This foam monster is one of the best.
