Tied with a big foam head, and scruffy hackles and dubbing for maximum movement.
The popper hopper is probably one of the best still water flies I use. Unsinkable even on choppy days, the foam is highly visible above the water and the fly body that sits under the water is irresistible to cruising trout. Cast out and let the fly drift or strip back and pop through the water to entice a take.
