Purple GFA Foam Hopper - (Pack of 3)
The Purple GFA (Grand Foam Attractor) Foam Hopper is a highly effective, buoyant fly pattern designed to mimic the appearance of a grasshopper on the water's surface. This artificial fly is a favorite among fly fishers for its ability to draw strikes from a variety of freshwater game fish, particularly trout.

A fine, durable thread is used to bind all the materials firmly to the hook, ensuring the fly can withstand repeated use and the aggressive strikes it often elicits.

The foam not only provides the fly with its characteristic buoyancy,
