{{+1}}Summertime hopper – Chatto’s tie{{-1}}
{{start}}
Looks great on the water and floats all day. The general form and colour together with presentation and how you fish them will help you fool the fish. Whether fished dry or wet by in large all hopper patterns should be fished in the current with as little line drag as possible or with occasional short jerking strips or twitches.{{end}}

{{+1}}Bullet nosed foam hopper – Chatto original{{-1}}
{{start}}
My bullet nosed foam hopper has a general hopper type form and function and works well in smaller sizes as a representation of a Trouser-Brace hopper or Wingless hopper and in larger sizes with a yellow foam body as a representation of a Yellow Winged hopper. The incorporation of foam and deer make this a particularly good fast water fly or a fly that will support a wet fly quite comfortably in a dry / wet two fly team.{{end}}
