This week, Davie McPhail looks to restock his Hog Hoppers or more specifically a Red Tag version. Hog Flies are Dry Flies that excel in catching wild trout in the lochs of Upland Scotland and Hog Hoppers have the added benefit of big long legs to draw attention.
All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, but as always if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we'll be happy to help. Without further ado, here's Davie McPhail tying the Red Tag Hog Hopper.
