Hippie Stomper

Hippie Stomper (Foam)

The Hippie Stomper is one of those foam dries that just flat-out catches fish — especially when you’re not sure what they’re eating.

Built with a high-floating foam body, rubber legs, and a buggy silhouette, this fly rides like a cork, stays visible in broken water, and keeps fishing even after a dozen eats. It’s the perfect blend of hopper, beetle, and general terrestrial “bug” that trout can’t ignore.

Fish it as a single dry, or use it as a dry-dropper rig to suspend a nymph. It floats great, lands softly, and has enough presence to pull fish up in riffles, pocket water, and undercut banks.

• Summer trout

• High-country streams and freestones

• Dry-dropper rigs

Why It Works

• Foam body = floats all day
