8' Hopper II - "Lite"

"A small, stable pram is suited perfectly for viewing trout in stillwaters. You can stand up in a pram and greatly increase your window of visibility. A boat allows you to cast in any direction. If you are serious about using a floating line in stillwaters, get a pram."

Fly Fisherman Magazine December 1997

If your fishing fantasies include both Class 1 & 2 rivers as well as stillwater trips, there’s no better way to jump between the two than with a Hopper II. The Hopper II’s versatile design provides a maneuverable, extremely stable casting platform in a wide range of fly fishing situations. It’s hand rubbed, plugged oak gunwales add craftsmanship not found in utilitarian fishing prams. The Hopper II pram’s shallow rocker and narrow bow provide the agility and sure-handedness you’ll need on moving water. And it’s low profile keeps you from getting pushed around by gusty winds on lakes and ponds.

8' Hopper II - roomy

Shown here is an 8' Hopper II in Hunter Green with the optional Electric Motor Cable Kit, bow mounted Pocket Puller Anchor System, Splash Web exterior and Smoker oars.

8' Hopper II - stable & versatile

As seen on the opening Hopper II series page we have developed a great dog training platform built from a foundation of our 8' Hopper II. The stability is outstanding due to the bottom width of this stubby little pram. If you are looking for the Spring Creek Prams single person workhorse the 8' Hopper II is the pram for you.
