RIO’s Juicy Hopper is one of our Top Hoppers. The fly has a nicely tapered abdomen, super natural looking appendages, and a pair of antennae that combine for a super realistic profile under water. The Juicy Hopper comes in several colors and a range of sizes, giving anglers plenty of options throughout terrestrial season. The larger sizes are great for making a sizable splash, while we like to size down as the season wears on and the fish become more selective.

From RIO:

From July 4th to first frost, a good hopper pattern is an absolute must in your box if you fish for trout. RIO’s Juicy Hopper has many key design features that make it an excellent summer pattern; the heavy curved hook lowers the center of gravity and help it land (and sit) correctly, the leg color matches the body just like the real insect, and the body markings and properly placed antennae give excellent elements of life and realism. There is enough foam to float a dropper pattern if you desire.
