Popper Hopper Black / Red Butt Stillwater Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Popper Hopper Black/Red Butt is highly effective for stillwater trout fishing, especially during warmer months when trout are feeding near the surface. To maximise its effectiveness, use a floating line and a long leader to present the fly delicately. Cast near weed beds or structures where trout are likely to be hiding. Allow the fly to sit momentarily before starting a retrieve. Use a combination of short, sharp strips to create a popping action, imitating a struggling insect. This action can trigger aggressive strikes from trout. Vary the retrieve speed and pauses to match the fish's activity level and entice more bites.

Key Seasons - when is this

Stillwater Emerger Trout Fly

most effective?
The Popper Hopper Black/Red Butt is most effective during late spring to early autumn when trout are actively feeding on the surface. This fly excels during the warmer months, particularly from May to September, aligning with key hatch periods of terrestrial insects like grasshoppers and beetles. It performs best in calm, stillwater conditions where trout are more likely to rise for surface prey. Early mornings and late afternoons, when the water is cooler and insects are more active, are ideal times to use this fly. Its vibrant colours and popping action make it irresistible to trout during these peak feeding times.

How does the Turrall Popper Hopper Black / Red Butt Stillwater Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Popper Hopper Black / Red Butt Stillwater Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the terrestrial insects, particularly grasshoppers, that often find themselves on the water's surface. This fly imitates the adult stage of these insects, which is a crucial part of a trout's diet, especially during late summer and early autumn when grasshoppers are abundant.
Trout target these insects due to their high protein content and the ease with which they can be captured as they struggle on the water's surface. The fly's buoyant design and vibrant colours attract the attention of trout, making it an effective choice for anglers.
