Dave's Hopper
In Stock • Bozeman, MT
Description
Created by the one and only Dave Whitlock, Dave's Hopper is an old-school hopper that has delivered for decades. The fly does not contain foam, but instead relies on mostly natural materials for its bouyancy and profile. Knotted pheasant tail fibers create the legs, turkey quill forms a pair of wings, and the head is shaped out of spun deer hair. If you prefer more "natural" flies, this is the hopper you should be reaching for and one of our favorite hoppers.
