Hopper Popper

The Hopper Popper by RIO is a topwater fly designed to imitate a grasshopper struggling on the water’s surface. Known for its irresistible sound and action, the Hopper Popper mimics the frantic movement of a grasshopper or other terrestrial insects that accidentally land in the water. The fly is designed with a concave foam head that creates a distinctive "pop" when stripped, making it a perfect choice for attracting predatory fish like trout, bass, and pike. With its bright colors and large profile, the Hopper Popper works exceptionally well during warm months when terrestrial insects are abundant and fish are feeding aggressively near the surface.

Fish in Shallow, Vegetated Areas: The Hopper Popper excels in shallow, weedy waters where fish are actively feeding on insects that have fallen into the water. Cast the fly near grass beds, lily pads, or along the edges of streams, and strip it through these areas to entice strikes from fish looking for an easy meal.
