All Riseley Trout Flies are hand tied in Tasmania to exacting specifications and a high degree of attention to detail, craftsmanship and consistency. Each Riseley Trout Fly in the range is a proven fish catcher so you can be sure they will not just appeal to the angler, but even more importantly, those picky trout. All flies are tied on quality barbless hooks using high end materials.
The Leggy Bibio Hopper is a highly effective terrestrial dry fly attractor pattern that pays homage to classic English loch‑style Bibio patterns. Its dark body, subtle hotspot, and long, mobile legs create a convincing surface profile that trout confidently commit to.
A possum bubble wing provides excellent buoyancy while maintaining a natural, buggy silhouette, allowing the fly to sit correctly on the surface even in broken water. The protruding legs break the surface film to make an enticing trigger point for fish deciding whether or not they should be looking up. This one has worked great for us when trying to fool those stubborn tailers!
