MTN HIGH HOPPER
$2.75
MTN High Hopper is buoyant, leggy grasshopper pattern designed for freestone rivers & alpine meadows. Ideal for trout in high-country & late-summer conditions.
Description
The MTN High Hopper is built for big eats in high places. This high-floating, foam-bodied terrestrial dry fly is a go-to choice when trout are hunting grasshoppers in alpine meadows, freestone creeks, and wide-open mountain rivers. Designed with buoyancy, visibility, and realism in mind, it’s the perfect pattern for covering water during late summer and early fall.
With its durable foam body, rubber legs, and exaggerated silhouette, the MTN High Hopper floats like a cork—even in rough pocket water—and handles a dropper with ease. The prominent legs and wide body displace water and trigger reaction strikes from trout that are dialed in on terrestrials.
The pattern’s color scheme blends natural tan, yellow, or olive tones with just the right amount of contrast for spotting in sun-glare or riffles. Fish it solo or as part of a dry-dropper rig with nymphs like a Pheasant Tail or Flashback Hare’s Ear underneath.
From Rocky Mountain cutthroat to tailwater browns, the MTN High Hopper excels when wind-blown bugs are hitting the water and fish are looking up. It’s an essential pattern for hiking anglers and western river drifters alike—built to bounce, float, and get noticed in big country.
