Juicy Hopper
Juicy Hopper
Couldn't load pickup availability
From July 4th to first frost, a good hopper pattern is an absolute must in your box if you fish for trout. RIO's Juicy Hopper has many key design features that make it an excellent summer pattern; the heavy curved hook lowers the center of gravity and help it land (and sit) correctly, the leg color matches the body just like the real insect, and the body markings and properly placed antennae give excellent elements of life and realism. There is enough foam to float a dropper pattern if you desire.
