Description

The Morrish Hopper, created by Ken Morrish, is a renowned foam grasshopper imitation celebrated for its realistic profile and effectiveness in attracting trout during terrestrial insect seasons. Its buoyant design ensures excellent floatation, making it ideal for fishing in various water conditions.

Pro Tip

When fishing the Morrish Hopper, focus on areas with overhanging vegetation or grassy banks where natural hoppers are likely to fall into the water. A dead drift presentation works well, but occasionally imparting slight twitches can simulate a struggling insect, enticing opportunistic trout.
