GRASSHOPPER RED LEG PARACHUTE

Description

Grasshopper Red Leg Parachute is a top-performing terrestrial dry fly, designed to imitate the splashy, clumsy behavior of real grasshoppers that often fall into rivers during the late summer and early fall. Featuring a realistic body in earthy tones and vibrant red rubber legs, this pattern stands out in both appearance and motion—provoking aggressive strikes from trout lying in wait along grassy banks.

Its parachute-style post enhances visibility in bright sun, glare, or fast water, while also promoting a natural drift and upright landing. The red legs not only add contrast but mimic the fluttering struggle of a real insect on the water’s surface. Buoyant, durable, and highly visible, this pattern performs exceptionally well in riffles, seams, and calm eddies alike.

Whether fished solo or as part of a dry-dropper rig, the Grasshopper Red Leg Parachute is an ideal choice for targeting opportunistic fish feeding on big meals. A proven summer fly fishing fly, it earns its place in any angler’s terrestrial arsenal.
