The Fly Fishing Place Feth Hopper Tan Foam Body Dry Fly – High-Visibility Grasshopper, 6 Flies, Size 10

Overview

The Feth Hopper Tan Foam Body Dry Fly from The Fly Fishing Place blends buoyant foam with a crisp grasshopper silhouette to ride the surface with confidence. The high-visibility tan body helps you track takes and line movement across bright days and reflective water. The pattern’s compact profile mimics a grasshopper drift and remains easy to cast, even when the breeze picks up.

In hand, the foam body feels light and buoyant, yet durable enough for repeated trips to the water. The tan color offers a natural look on sunlit water, while the clean hook presentation ensures reliable settling on the water’s surface.

Why anglers choose this pattern

• High-visibility foam body improves surface visibility and strike detection.
• Foam buoyancy keeps the fly riding high in warm conditions, reducing drag and false drifts.
• Versatile across trout, bass, and panfish in a range of water types.
• Six flies on size 10 hooks provide quick access and consistent presentations.

Ideal use scenarios

• Bank-popping along sunlit banks during hot summer days for surface takes.
• Hopper dropper setups: use this pattern as the indicator above a nymph.
• Casting to edge pockets and slow riffles where wary fish feed on the surface.

As a surface-dry option, you may notice the Feth Hopper’s buoyancy helping you control drift and presentation, while the size 10 hooks balance hook-ups with a natural profile. For instructional setups, pair it with a nymph below to explore depth adjustments and strike timing. Results will vary by conditions and fish, but the pattern offers a dependable starting point for surface-first anglers.

What to pair with

• Pair with a light tippet in 4x–6x to maintain a natural presentation.
• Consider a hopper dropper setup with a nymph beneath to probe depth.
• Cast along bank margins at dawn or dusk when visibility helps spotting takes.

Care and maintenance

Rinse after use and inspect the foam body for dirt or debris. Gentle air-drying helps preserve buoyancy, and avoid harsh solvents to protect the foam’s integrity over time.
