The Fulling Mill McPhail Red Tag Hog Hopper Size 12 is a highly adaptable trout pattern that combines surface disturbance with a profile capable of suggesting several different food items. Rather than closely copying one insect, it can represent terrestrials, midges and other small prey encountered around stillwaters.

Worked across the top, the fly creates a noticeable wake that can draw attention from trout patrolling near the surface. A gentle tweak through the surface film provides another effective presentation, particularly around lake margins where natural insects often gather.

Its usefulness extends below the surface as well. The Red Tag Hog Hopper can be fished as a wet fly or incorporated into a washing-line setup, allowing the same pattern to cover different depths and feeding situations.

Tied on a size 12 hook, this Davie McPhail pattern is a practical choice for anglers looking for one fly that can switch easily between dry, wet and washing-line techniques.
