Morrish Hopper - Brown/Tan

Morrish Hopper – Brown/Tan | The Hopper Pattern That Redefined the Game

Designed by legendary tier Ken Morrish, the Morrish Hopper is widely regarded as one of the most effective grasshopper imitations ever tied. Its realistic profile, superior buoyancy, and lifelike movement make it a go-to pattern when bank-feeding trout are keyed in on terrestrials.

Why It Works

• Realistic hopper profile sits flush in the film with a natural silhouette that fools even the most selective trout
• Brown and tan coloration matches the late-summer grasshoppers found along meadow streams and agricultural banks
• Foam body provides exceptional buoyancy without floatant, even in heavy water
• Rubber legs splay and kick on the surface, adding lifelike movement that triggers aggressive strikes

When & Where to Fish It

The Morrish Hopper is at its best from July through September when grasshoppers are most active. Splat it hard against undercut banks and grassy edges, then let it dead-drift. An occasional twitch or skate can trigger hesitant fish. A proven producer on Western tailwaters, spring creeks, and freestone rivers across the country.
