The Fulling Mill McPhail Detached Body Hopper Orange Size 12 is a versatile terrestrial pattern created by renowned fly designer Davie McPhail. Its distinctive detached-body construction gives it a convincing insect profile while offering several different presentation options.

When fish are feeding on the surface, it can be cast towards rising trout and left static in the manner of a traditional dry fly. For a more active approach, retrieve it across the surface to produce a wake that can draw attention from fish covering a wider area.

The pattern is equally useful as part of a washing-line setup. It can be combined with a midge tip or sinking line, allowing the angler to adapt the depth and presentation without changing to an entirely different fly style.

Tied on a size 12 hook and finished in an orange colourway, this Davie McPhail design offers a practical combination of terrestrial imitation, surface disturbance and versatile rigging options.
