The Foam Mantis / Club Sandwich

The Foam Mantis / Club Sandwich is a high floating segmented foam grasshopper pattern that is great for both dry fly fishing and indicator fishing. The fly is made with a foam body that is nearly un-sinkable, and it features legs and wings that are made with synthetic materials. The fly is available in sizes 8-14, and it can be fished in a variety of water conditions.

The Foam Mantis / Club Sandwich is a great fly to imitate grasshoppers, which are a common food source for trout. The fly-s foam body floats well and looks natural from underneath, and the legs and wings help to give the fly movement in the water. The fly can be fished dead drift or with a slight retrieve, and it can be used as a dry fly or as an indicator for a dropper fly.
