The yellow owl hopper is a modern take on a very traditional fly first used on Loch leven. The Light cahill body ribbed with round black thread combination has been used on everything from wet flies to dry flies and even buzzers!
Our hoppers are specifically tied with soft hen hackle and this allows them to be fished both wet and dry. When fishing them dry the application of a tiny bit of floatant is always advised.
