About the Claret CDC Emerging Hopper Trout Fly

Our Claret CDC Emerging Hopper offers a wealth of versatility - it can be - a nymph emerger, dry fly or terrestrial; whichever way you want to fish it. This dressing has created a very buoyant fly; extremely useful on 'busy' water, when standard dries struggle.

Expert Tip:

The trick is to move the fly slowly when beginning to recast. So instead of ripping the flies off the water as too many anglers do, incorporate a slow and steady lift before applying the power into the back cast. This drags the flies across the surface, producing that lovely wake that active fish find so enthralling.
