Turrall Bristol Hopper Flies

Originating from renowned UK stillwaters like Blagdon and Chew Valley, Turrall

Bristol Hopper Flies

have become indispensable for trout anglers seeking success during terrestrial insect activity. These leggy patterns, complete with knotted legs, effectively mimic a variety of insects, making them particularly effective when trout are feeding near the surface.

When fishing with the Bristol Hopper fly pattern, consider using a floating line and a long leader to achieve a natural drift. Casting these flies during a hatch of large buzzers or when terrestrials are prevalent can yield impressive results. Additionally, a slight twitch can impart lifelike movement, enticing cautious trout to strike. For anglers targeting river trout, the Bristol Hopper also serves as a versatile terrestrial imitation. ​
