The Fulling Mill CDC Hopper Bibio Dry Fly is a best-selling trout pattern that combines the distinctive look of the classic Bibio with the highly effective CDC Hopper style.

Originally inspired by small craneflies being blown onto lakes and hopping from wave to wave, the Hopper design has developed into a modern classic for stillwater trout fishing. Its profile can suggest a number of natural food items rather than imitating only one specific insect.

The familiar Bibio colour combination gives the fly a strong, recognisable appearance, while its general Hopper profile allows it to represent a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic insects. This makes it particularly useful when trout are feeding around the surface but the exact natural food source is difficult to identify.

Available in hook sizes 10 and 12, the Fulling Mill CDC Hopper Bibio is a versatile general-purpose dry fly and a dependable addition to any stillwater trout fly box.
