Stone Hopper

Stone Creek™ Stone Hopper

The Stone Creek™ Stone Hopper is a realistic and highly visible terrestrial dry fly designed to imitate large grasshoppers and other land-based insects that trout eagerly feed on throughout the summer and early fall. Featuring a natural hair body and wings combined with a highly visible parachute post, this pattern delivers an excellent balance of realism, flotation, and visibility.

Built to ride high on the surface, the Stone Hopper presents a lifelike silhouette that trout readily recognize while remaining easy for anglers to track in fast currents, riffles, and broken water. The parachute post improves visibility and stability, making this fly an excellent choice for fishing along grassy banks, cutbanks, under overhanging vegetation, and other areas where terrestrials commonly enter the water.

Available in Olive, Red, Tan, and Yellow, the Stone Hopper is equally effective as a standalone dry fly or as a buoyant dry-dropper fly capable of supporting nymphs below.
