Summer plopping
When fishing, we normally want a gentle, soft presentation.
But sometimes you want a big plop, a slap on the water.
If there are grasshoppers around, then it is one of the times you want your fly to land with a plop. Another time and place for the plop is when presenting your fly next to grass banks or under overhanging trees.
The plop and splash of a fly landing hard on the water attracts the attention - like a grasshopper or big beetle landing on the surface of the water.
Sometimes giving a little twitch after a second or three is also very effective.

Since you got this far …
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
