The Parachute Hopper is a versatile and effective terrestrial fly pattern designed to imitate a grasshopper. This fly stands out for its buoyant design and realistic silhouette, making it especially appealing to trout during the summer and early fall when grasshoppers are prevalent. The parachute style of the fly ensures it lands softly on the water and maintains a visible, upright position, making it easier for anglers to track in various lighting conditions. Ideal for fishing along riverbanks and grassy shores, it triggers strikes from fish feeding on surface insects.
