Morrish Hopper - Purple

The Moorish Hopper is a top pattern for many anglers for several reasons . First and foremost is the profile, which is spot on. The other key elements are limber rubber legs with angled joints, its specific density and how it sits deep in the film, two toned body and color selections, high-vis locator patch and its unusual ability to catch micro currents and move about unpredictably on the surface.  Fishing Notes:  While these flies fish well on a standard dead drift, many anglers like to chug them a few times after landing or chug them continuously. Try it.

The Morrish Hopper is one of our favorite mid to late summer patterns in the U.S. West, but its also a very effective pattern in destinations like Patagonia. If you're building a hopper box, you should absolutely have some Morrish Hoppers in there -- There is a reason it was the first fly we listed on our Top Hopper Flies!
