RIO Hopper Popper – Hopper-Dropper & Warmwater Fly

The RIO Hopper Popper is an ideal fly for hopper-dropper fishing, combining the buoyancy of a popper head with a durable foam hopper body that’s hard to sink—even with heavier droppers. Designed to stay afloat and visible in broken water, it excels during late-summer hopper seasons on rivers and streams.

Available in the most effective hopper color combinations for a wide range of waters, the Hopper Popper draws aggressive surface takes while easily supporting nymphs or droppers below.

Don’t overlook it beyond trout. The RIO Hopper Popper is also a proven warmwater fly, with smallmouth bass especially quick to crush it on top.
