The Harray Black Hopper Size 12 is an excellent, dark loch-style terrestrial pattern with a buoyant, leggy profile. Its black body creates a strong silhouette that can suggest heather flies, hawthorn flies and other land-bred insects.
Fish it in a ripple, along wind lanes or on the top dropper. Allow wave action to animate the fly and use only modest retrieves so it remains close to the surface. This is the sort of dependable dry that can turn a quiet rise into a memorable take.
