This is a must-have hopper pattern that imitates many different terrestrials.
The Black McPhail Detached Body Hopper is the perfect fly to imitate terrestrial insects. Fish this fly across the surface to create a wake or static on the surface as a traditional dry fly. This pattern can also be fished as part of a washing line set up on a midge tip or sinking line. Designed by Fulling Mill fly designer, Davie McPhail.
