Terrestrial Flies

Lifelike hopper, ant, and beetle patterns for summer surface action.

Terrestrial flies imitate land-based insects like hoppers, ants, and beetles—patterns that excel through summer and fall when big trout feed aggressively on the surface. Explore natural and realistic designs built for splashy takes and confident strikes.

Terrestrials

Terrestrial flies are some of the most exciting patterns in fly fishing, triggering explosive surface eats from trout throughout the warm months. Our collection includes realistic hoppers, ants, beetles, crickets, and other land-based insects tied to float high, stay visible, and withstand repeated strikes.

These patterns shine from midsummer through early fall, especially during windy afternoons when natural insects get blown into the water. Realistic terrestrials offer lifelike detail and natural silhouettes, while foam-bodied flies provide unbeatable buoyancy for long drifts and rough water.

Whether you’re prospecting grassy banks, fishing meadow streams, or targeting opportunistic trout in fast currents, these terrestrial flies deliver consistent topwater action and dependable performance. Perfect for anglers who love visual strikes and versatile dry-fly tactics.
