As the name indicates dry flies which include Bristol Hopper Orange are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include Bristol Hopper Orange imitate a wide variery of flies and insects which inhabit the surface of the water. There is nothing like using dry flies and watching trout and grayling rise to the surface. To purists dry fly fishing is the true art-form of fly fishing, indeed some rivers only permit dry fly fishing. There are some dry flies (e.g. the Popper, Muddlers) which are designed to attract fish by the action of creating a surface disturbance. The flies are made from very bouyant materials (e.g, cork, ethafoam or deer hair, the latter having a generous application of floatant). A Muddler retrieved upwind of a rise can often result in a bulge in the water as the fish follows the fly.

Dry Fly Fishing Techniques With The Bristol Hopper Orange

A dry fly like Bristol Hopper Orange has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help Bristol Hopper Orange float and they are usually cast singly on a trout tapered leader. A floating line is used, but with the tapered leader de-greased so that it does not glint and flash light spooking the trout

The Bristol Hopper Orange is a terrestrial fly imitation. Natural insects like ants & bees can be food for trout. Imitation flies like Bristol Hopper Orange are available imitating the natural insects (Hymenoptera) which are very diverse in appearance. Most hymenopterans have two pairs of membranous wings. It is only usually the ant, grasshopper and bee that are regularly used as sucessful terrestrial imitations like Bristol Hopper Orange for trout fishing.
