The Fulling Mill Bristol Hopper Ginger Size 12 is the original standard Bristol Hopper pattern and has become a modern classic for trout fishing. Inspired by small craneflies being blown onto lakes and hopping from wave to wave, it offers a convincing and versatile presentation around the surface.

Rather than representing only one specific insect, the Bristol Hopper Ginger works as a general imitation of a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic insects. This makes it an excellent searching pattern when trout are feeding but the exact food source is difficult to identify.

Its versatility allows it to be presented in several different ways. It can be fished dry on the surface, allowed to sink, presented static, gently twitched or retrieved more positively depending on the conditions and how the trout are responding.

Tied on a size 12 hook, the Fulling Mill Bristol Hopper Ginger is suitable for both wild and stocked trout and is a dependable all-round pattern for stillwater fly fishing.
