Terrestrial Flies

When the hoppers start hopping and beetles start dropping, it’s time to tie on a terrestrial. Our terrestrial flies collection is packed with high-floating, fish-attracting patterns that imitate grasshoppers, beetles, ants, crickets, and other land-dwelling insects that find their way into the water during the warmer months. For many anglers, terrestrial flies are the key to some of the most visual and explosive dry fly fishing of the season.

These patterns are tied to perform—foam bodies for buoyancy, rubber legs for motion, and vivid colors or hot spots for visibility in rough or glare-heavy water. Whether you’re targeting trout along grassy riverbanks, probing stillwater edges, or drifting under overhanging branches, our terrestrial flies deliver the lifelike profiles and solid floats that bring fish to the surface.

Perfect for late summer and fall fishing, terrestrial flies also pair well with droppers for a deadly combo of topwater action and subsurface coverage. From realistic ants and beetles to foam-bodied hopper variations, these flies are tied on sharp, durable hooks and built to take hit after hit.

Don’t wait for a hatch—create your own. With the right selection of terrestrial flies, you can turn a sunny, hatchless afternoon into a dry fly highlight reel.
