GRASSHOPPER TAN PARACHUTE

Description

Grasshopper Tan Parachute is a refined terrestrial dry fly that combines natural coloration with excellent visibility and floatation. Designed to mimic the classic tan-bodied grasshopper, this pattern is a go-to choice for targeting trout during late summer and early fall when hoppers are most active near grassy banks and meadows.

Its parachute-style post ensures a stable, upright drift, making the fly easy to spot, even in fast-moving or glare-heavy water. The tan body offers a realistic silhouette, while rubber legs add movement and lifelike appeal on the water’s surface. This subtle profile is ideal for pressured or clear-water trout that shy away from flashier patterns.

Perfect for dry-dropper rigs or fished solo, the Grasshopper Tan Parachute excels when drifted tight to overhanging grass, through shallow runs, or along undercut banks. It’s an essential pattern for summer terrestrial fishing—durable, visible, and deadly when big trout are looking up for a meaty, floating meal.
