Description

The Hippie Stomper, created by Andrew Grillos. This fly is nearly as indestructible, becoming one of the most popular all-around attractor dry flies. It consistently catches fish regardless of the time of day, season of the year or type of water. Best in sizes 12-16. Keep several colors on hand, black and red are my favorite.

Pro Tip

This pattern is an excellent choice if your vision is not as sharp as it once was.
