The Mouthful is a robust, high-floating foam dry fly built to imitate grasshoppers and large terrestrials during peak hopper season. Designed as a more subdued alternative to the Green Envy Hopper, this pattern features a natural, lifelike profile with buggy legs, segmented foam body, and excellent floatation—making it a go-to for targeting opportunistic trout in late summer and early fall.
Tied with durable materials, The Mouthful can withstand multiple eats and keeps riding high, even in fast water. It’s ideal for fishing tight to grassy banks, riffles, and seams where hoppers are likely to fall in. Whether fished solo or as part of a hopper-dropper rig, this pattern delivers aggressive takes when trout are keyed in on big meals.
Best for:
- Summer and early fall hopper fishing
- Hopper-dropper rigs in fast or medium water
- Prospecting with large foam terrestrials
📌 Pro Tip: When trout are ignoring flashy hoppers, switch to The Mouthful—its more natural tone and realistic drift often fool selective fish in pressured water.
