The Bibio CDC Hopper Barbless Trout Fly is a must-have for any angler targeting trout in stillwaters and rivers. This fly combines the classic Bibio pattern with modern CDC (Cul de Canard) materials, enhancing its buoyancy and lifelike movement on the water's surface. Originating from the UK, the Bibio pattern has been a staple since the early 20th century, renowned for its effectiveness in imitating terrestrial insects.
Key features include its barbless hook, promoting catch and release, and its vibrant black and red body, which attracts trout even in murky conditions. The CDC wings add a natural flutter, making it irresistible to fish. Perfect for summer fishing, this fly is a proven performer in enticing surface strikes..

Bibio CDC Hopper Barbless Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Bibio CDC Hopper is best used in late summer and early autumn when terrestrial insects are abundant. To maximise effectiveness, cast the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, mimicking a struggling insect. Use a floating line and a long leader to ensure a delicate presentation.
Employ a twitching retrieve by gently lifting the rod tip to create small ripples, imitating a live hopper. This can trigger aggressive strikes from trout. Fish it near banks, overhanging vegetation, or in slow-moving pools where trout are likely to be waiting for food.

Key Seasons - when is this

Barbless Hopper Trout Fly

most effective?
The Bibio CDC Hopper Barbless Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak terrestrial insect activity, making it ideal for imitating hoppers and other land-based insects that fall into the water. The fly excels during warm, breezy days when grasshoppers and other insects are more likely to be blown onto the water's surface. It is particularly effective in the late summer months when trout are accustomed to feeding on terrestrials. Use it in clear, shallow waters where trout are actively surface feeding.

How does the Turrall Bibio CDC Hopper Barbless Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Bibio CDC Hopper Barbless Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the terrestrial insects, particularly grasshoppers, that often fall into the water. These insects are a crucial part of a trout's diet, especially during late summer and early autumn when they are abundant. The fly imitates the adult stage of the grasshopper, characterised by its buoyant and leggy appearance, which is enhanced by the CDC (Cul de Canard) feathers that provide natural floatation.
Fish target these insects due to their high protein content and the ease with which they can be captured when they are struggling on the water's surface. The realistic movement and silhouette of the Bibio CDC Hopper make it an irresistible target for trout, enticing them to strike.
