Foam Mantis

Foam Mantis / Club Sandwich

The Foam Mantis / Club Sandwich is a highly buoyant segmented foam hopper pattern designed for aggressive dry fly fishing and dependable dry-dropper setups. Built with a nearly unsinkable foam body along with lively synthetic legs and wings, this fly rides high on the surface and remains easy to track even in rough or fast-moving water.

A proven summertime terrestrial pattern, the Foam Mantis imitates grasshoppers and other large land-based insects trout eagerly target along grassy banks, meadow streams, and freestone rivers. Its durable construction and high visibility make it an outstanding searching pattern throughout hopper season.

Whether fished alone or supporting a dropper nymph beneath it, the Foam Mantis consistently draws explosive surface strikes from trout.
