Summer dry fly fishing simply isn't complete without a few mind-blowing grasshopper days! In this video we travel to a brown trout river and focus on targeting big brown trout sitting on the edge of the river feeding on big grasshoppers. We use big grasshopper dry fly patterns as we take on sighting and hunting these big brown trout.

You guys are amazing. Seriously, tying up flies and shaking my head watching your content. It's like grad school again, but for fly fishing. I rewind repeatedly to think through what you say. I'm more of a tight-line euro guy myself but there is a ton to learn about playing big browns here, raising my odds with the net. Decades of wisdom.

The cliff cast is absolutely iconic
-
Just amazing!!! Beautiful intro and then the guided stalk of that rainbow (the big head on that thing!). That side-hook set makes so much sense can’t believe after 50 years it’s the first time I have heard it. Thank you.
-
Love how you always take us on a mini-adventure, and Amelia’s big rainbow and Dave’s last brown were SO beautiful. I don’t get keeping the reel right handed and switching back & forth during the fight, but to each their own ;). You land plenty!

That was an epic Rainbow, Amelia.

When my son was 5 or 6 yrs old and starting to want to fish I would set him the task of catching live grasshoppers while I fly fished with artificial ones he would take quite a while then when he got one and brought it too me I would put it on a hook so he could cast it out on a bubble float. He would usually get a trout straight away, he still fly fishes but now with artificial 35 yrs have passed, his daughter now also fishes with him.

As a kid I would spend afternoons chasing grasshoppers and bugs in the field next to the little stream next door for bait. I thin the only things that compete are crickets and earthworms
-
Another stunning quality video. 👌
-
I stumbled upon casting from a high bank and sight fishing as a great combination.
-
Great video.
-
As soon as I saw “Grasshopper” I had to watch.

Watching this video highlights a new large grasshopper/locust that has appeared on a north canterbury river we fish. I first noticed them about five years ago never seen them before in all our time fishing the area. they've migrated up stream and are appearing right into the foothills. In flight they look like a small bird, maybe in years to come we too, will have epic hopper fishing who knows? meanwhile thanks for another great video.

13:20 Dave sure has you spoiled when you’re disappointed by 8 inchers.
-
To catch tricky jungle perch I put a spot of Loctite Super glue on a crickets back and set the hook on it. If the fish strikes I've got it.

Turbo charged bow :)

Wow that rainbow took you for a ride! Sweet. When does “hopper” season generally start for you all?
-
Reel in as fast as you slide ;-)
-
Wonderful video...Thanks for posting such beautiful places and emotions!!😊 Can I ask you wich rod is using Amelia? It seems an Orvis Helios 3, but not the usual 3F 9'wt5. Altough it not seem to be a "Blackout"...I don't recognize it!😄

The dreaded big fish slow take

I swear this is southern Alberta, can you confirm?
