Introducing the Hare & Squirrel Half Hog Hopper Barbless, a highly effective pattern tied with Kindale's best-selling Hare and Squirrel Dubbing blend.
This dubbing creates a beautifully buggy, natural look that trout simply can’t ignore.
The addition of a subtle pearl rib adds just the right amount of flash to catch the eye of cruising fish without overpowering the fly’s natural appearance.
This pattern is a perfect crossover between a hopper and a sedge-style half hog, making it a versatile choice for both stillwaters and rivers. Whether fish are feeding on terrestrials or sedges, this fly offers the best of both worlds in one buggy little package.
How to Fish the Half Hog Hopper:
- Fish it dry on the surface, letting the natural materials create a lifelike footprint and drift.
- Ideal for windy days when terrestrials are being blown onto the water.
- Works brilliantly as a point fly on a dry fly setup or even as a sighter fly on a dry-dropper rig.
