The Olive Hopper Trout Fly is a quintessential choice for anglers targeting trout, especially during late summer and autumn.

Its buoyant design, featuring a bushy hackle and foam body, ensures it stays afloat, making it irresistible to surface-feeding trout.
Key features include its olive-green hue, which blends seamlessly with natural surroundings, and its rubber legs that add lifelike movement. Renowned for its effectiveness, the Olive Hopper is a must-have in any fly box, offering both versatility and reliability in various fishing conditions..

Olive Hopper Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Olive Hopper Trout Fishing Fly is best used in late summer and early autumn when terrestrial insects are abundant. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a dry fly technique, casting upstream and allowing it to drift naturally with the current. Use a light tippet to enhance presentation. Employ a twitching retrieve by gently lifting the rod tip to mimic the movement of a struggling insect, enticing trout to strike. Target areas with overhanging vegetation or near banks where hoppers naturally fall into the water. Adjust your position to avoid drag and maintain a natural drift.

Key Seasons - when is this

Hopper Trout Fly

most effective?
The Olive Hopper Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late summer to early autumn, particularly from August to October. This period coincides with the terrestrial insect activity, making it an ideal time for using this fly. During these months, trout are actively feeding on hoppers and other insects that fall into the water. The Olive Hopper excels in warm, breezy conditions when grasshoppers are more likely to be blown onto the water's surface. It is also effective during the late afternoon and early evening when trout are more active. Use this fly in clear, slow-moving waters for the best results.

How does the Turrall Olive Hopper Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Olive Hopper trout fishing fly is designed to mimic the terrestrial grasshopper, a key part of a trout's diet during late summer and early autumn. As grasshoppers are blown onto the water's surface, they become an easy target for opportunistic trout. The fly imitates the grasshopper's distinctive profile and movement, with its buoyant body and legs that create a lifelike disturbance on the water. This stage of emergence is crucial as it coincides with the peak activity of grasshoppers, making them a plentiful food source. Trout target these insects for their high protein content and the ease with which they can be captured.
