Green Foam Grasshopper Gets Three This Round! #foamgrasshopper

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning to give it another go with the Green Foam Grasshopper. Managed to get three to take the fishing fly! Had one missed strike, and then started hooking up once we found the right retrieve – short jerk and then wait. Bass were striking as the grasshopper sat still.
