Morrish Hopper

Morrish Hopper

Ken Morrish is well known for lots of very effective flies and the Morrish Hopper is a great example of why. This fly pattern has a very realistic underside when floating on the water and can be tied in many different colors. When hopper fishing, this is an extremely important detail as the bottom profile is what the fish are going to notice first. A quick tip on how to make this fly not only easier to tie but look more consistent is to pick up the River Roads Ken Morrish Hopper Foam Body Cutter Set. These cutters come in size 6-12 and will save you quite a bit of time if you plan on tying more than just a few of these foam treats. This pattern is 80% foam and 20% legs and the end result is a killer hopper pattern with a realistic bottom profile that will float all day long. As hopper season is upon us, this is a must have pattern in the fly box!
