{"product_id":"daves-hopper-fly","title":"Dave's Hopper Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCreated by the famous Dave Whitlock in the mid-1950s, Daves Hopper remains one of the top producing grasshopper imitations of today. When Dave set out to create a hopper imitation, he was looking for something that would float well, sit low in the water, and would land on the surface with a splat that imitates the real thing. Taking inspiration from Joe's Hopper and the Muddler Minnow, Dave designed his fly with a spun deer hair head, knotted pheasant tail legs, a hackled body, and poly yarn body that all come together to give buoyancy, a realistic profile, and the splat that Dave was seeking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA great grasshopper imitation, Daves Hopper can be fished any time in the summer and until the first real frost hits and the hoppers disappear. This fly is a great choice to fish on windy days, under trees, or in a meadow stream where grasshoppers are prevalent, and popular sizes are 8-12. Let it dead drift, add a twitch, or use it as your top fly in the Hopper Dropper nymph rig, Daves Hopper is the perfect addition to your summer arsenal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eColors Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSizes Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e08, 10, 12, 14\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Tan\/Yellow \/ 8","offer_id":48477564305641,"sku":"SKU052857169317-LG007","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan\/Yellow \/ 10","offer_id":48477564207337,"sku":"SKU052857169324-LG056","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan\/Yellow \/ 12","offer_id":48477564240105,"sku":"SKU052857169331-LG060","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan\/Yellow \/ 14","offer_id":48477564272873,"sku":"SKU052857169348-SM010","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/umpqua-flies-dave-s-hopper-fly-1199966048.jpg?v=1761701530","url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/daves-hopper-fly","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
