- Fishing Techniques.
The Popper Hopper Claret Stillwater Trout Fishing Fly is best used on calm days in stillwater environments. To maximise effectiveness, cast the fly near weed beds or structures where trout are likely to be hiding. Use a floating line and a long leader to ensure a natural presentation. Employ a "pop and pause" retrieve technique: give the line a sharp tug to create a popping sound and then let it sit for a few seconds. This mimics the movement of an insect struggling on the water's surface, enticing trout to strike. Vary the speed and intensity of the pops to match the activity level of the fish.

Key Seasons - when is this

Stillwater Emerger Trout Fly

most effective?
The Popper Hopper Claret Stillwater Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak of terrestrial insect activity and various hatch periods, making it ideal for imitating hoppers and other surface insects. The fly excels in warm, calm conditions when trout are feeding near the surface. During the summer months, especially on sunny days, it can be particularly effective in the mornings and late afternoons when trout are more active. Use it in clear, still waters for the best results.

How does the Turrall Popper Hopper Claret Stillwater Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Popper Hopper Claret Stillwater Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the terrestrial grasshopper, particularly during its vulnerable stage when it falls into the water. This fly imitates the grasshopper's buoyant and erratic movements on the water's surface, which are irresistible to trout.
Grasshoppers are a key part of a trout's diet, especially in late summer and early autumn when they are abundant. The fly's claret colour and popping action attract fish by simulating the struggling insect, making it an effective choice for anglers targeting surface-feeding trout.
