- Fishing Techniques.
The Orange CDC Bristol Hopper is best used in stillwater and reservoir fishing, particularly effective during late summer and autumn when trout are feeding on hoppers and terrestrials. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a floating line and a long leader to ensure a delicate landing. Use a dry fly presentation, allowing the fly to sit naturally on the water's surface.
Employ a varied retrieve, starting with a slow figure-of-eight to mimic a struggling insect, then incorporate short, sharp pulls to imitate a hopper's erratic movement. This technique can trigger aggressive takes from trout.

Key Seasons - when is this

Bristol Hopper Trout Fly

most effective?

The Orange CDC Bristol Hopper is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period aligns with the peak of terrestrial insect activity and various hatch periods, making it ideal for enticing trout. The fly excels in warm, overcast conditions when insects are more active on the water surface. During the summer months, especially in the evenings, the fly mimics the natural hatches of midges and small terrestrials, increasing its effectiveness. Use it in calm waters or slow-moving streams where trout are likely to rise for surface food.

How does the Turrall Orange CDC Bristol Hopper Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Orange CDC Bristol Hopper Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of terrestrial insects, particularly grasshoppers and other similar hoppers. These insects often find themselves on the water's surface, especially during windy days, making them an easy target for trout. The fly's buoyant CDC (Cul de Canard) feathers and vibrant orange colour effectively imitate the natural movement and appearance of these insects, enticing fish to strike.
Fish target these insects as they are a high-protein food source, and their erratic movements on the water surface make them irresistible to opportunistic feeders like trout.
