{"product_id":"parachute-hopper-yellow","title":"Parachute Hopper – Yellow","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eParachute Hopper – Yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e is a high-floating grasshopper imitation built around a parachute-style hackle that gives it a low, natural profile and unmatched visibility on the water. The yellow body imitates the pale underbelly of a real hopper, while the parachute post rides up where you can track it through riffles, glare, and long drifts. Wrapped horizontally around the post, the parachute hackle sets the fly down softly and keeps it sitting flush in the surface film—exactly the way a struggling hopper looks to a trout looking up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrasshoppers mean big, confident eats, and this pattern is built to draw them through the warm months when hoppers are on the banks and trout are looking for a substantial meal. Fish it tight to grassy banks, drift it through seams and along undercuts, or use it as the buoyant lead fly in a hopper-dropper rig—its parachute float easily supports a nymph slung below. From summer terrestrial season on freestone rivers to meadow streams and stillwater edges, the Parachute Hopper – Yellow is a searching dry fly that brings fish up when nothing's hatching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrout looking up during summer and early-fall terrestrial season\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrifting tight to grassy banks, seams, and undercuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnchoring a hopper-dropper rig with a nymph suspended below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📌 Pro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fish it hard against the bank—hoppers end up in the water by falling off the grass, so the closer you land it to the edge, the more natural it looks. Give it the occasional twitch to imitate a kicking hopper, and rig a beadhead nymph 18–24\" below when fish want the meal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackson Cardinal Flies","offers":[{"title":"8","offer_id":39561283764310,"sku":"824-8","price":2.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":39561283666006,"sku":"824-10","price":2.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":39561283698774,"sku":"824-12","price":2.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14","offer_id":39561283731542,"sku":"824-14","price":2.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0142\/0161\/8518\/files\/Parachute_Hopper_Yellow_Jackson_Hole_Fly_Company.webp?v=1789587444","url":"https:\/\/jacksonholeflycompany.com\/products\/parachute-hopper-yellow","provider":"Jackson Hole Fly Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
