Not now as popular as it once was, this pattern is an original from the famous Rogans of Ballyshannon stable, and carries with it a great heritage for catching Sea Trout and Brown Trout from July onwards. An underwing of Yellow was cited by Mr. Rogan for this, as he claims that the Grasshopper can vary in general colour from very dark to very bright in colour, yet they always have a splash of yellow on their legs. This variant has a parachute hackle as opposed to a conventional one, allowing it to sit into the surface film, giving a better impression of bing drowned.
