I've heard some claim that on especially bright days the trout respond better to hoppers with natural materials as there is some translucence. I've not observed any difference or tested this myself.
Late to the party here, but I love this pattern and I also love that storage box you're using for all the pre-cut bodies. Do you remember where you got that or who manufactures it? I am on an endless search for a durable storage box with curved bottoms and built-in compartment walls like this one. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your amazing videos!
Well done! I like to use a dab of Gulf resin to make 3’D eyes. And now I know River Road has the Morrish cutters…more money to be spent on tying equipment…and excellent video, as always!
Skew Whompus - A highly technical Fly Tyers term that I understood perfectly. Not for nothing they call them Crazy Legs. Great Vid. You sound like Dax Shepard from Without a Paddle :)
Great vid. Is that a hand whip finish or just a few half-hitches? Just asking as I am learning to hand whip finish, but it is more complicated than that, I think.
Great pattern! Thanks for sharing. Do you ever have issues with the super glue doing funky things to the rubber legs? On a few occasions, I've had the glue cause the rubber to deteriorate - some weird chemical reaction I guess.
Best hopper pattern I have found.. Great on any species that eat terrestrials. I have caught Bluegills, smallies, largemouth, trout, carp, all on the same fly. Obviously, a guy wants to go a little larger, sometimes, forthe bass species. GREAT FLY!!! (try it with "flesh" colored foam as the bottom color).
How hard would it be to put a parachute on the top ?
It wouldn't add anything to the fly and it would add about 14 more steps to get it to look natural.
Thanks for the great videos I have learned a lot over the years thank you guys
Beautiful!! Tight lines🐛🕷️🐜!!!!
Tied a bunch last week. Great pattern for panfish and bass 👍
Is there really any reason to fish any other hopper patterns when this one looks so realistic?
Pretty accurate!

Have a look at Mop Hopper fly on TH-cam and improve the tying of your fly back legs: the segments angle will easily be 90 degrees,

Great, where to find cookie cutters for foam

Any tips on keeping the lid from gluing shut on the Wapsi glue? No matter how hard I try to keep it clean my bottles always end up glued shut.

BadDismount427 yeah. Glue can mess with them for sure. Just make sure to use a minimal amount.
@@FlyFishFood sounds good. Thanks!

MAN that looks good....I want to make like 100 of them
The hopper chopper 👍
BUGGY ..I eat it!
your pattern blows Ken's out of the water
My hopper body's are way too tall. What is the thickness of your bodies? I glued 3mm and 2mm to make 5mm is that too much?
I did try and trim it's profile down but I don't like the way it looks. Your hopper bodies are on point.
It depends on the size of the fly. I like 4mm for size 12, 5mm for size 10, and 6mm for size 8-6
Thats a good one!👍👍
Bow to sensei hoppers 🙇🏻
On the stores it says those tiemco scissors are serrated. Or is it the smaller ones you use in this video?
I use the fine tip deer hair scissors for this video
ermoso salta montés amigo excelente trabajo felicidades
Stunning!
バッタ
awesome
Great tip on those legs
what size of foam cutter is that? small or large?
Size 8
is there an alternative to that spray glue used for the foam?
Delerium89 the 3M 77 is by far the most durable. I’ve tried most of them.
How do you cut the strike indicator
There is a cutter in the set for the strike indicator.
Fly Fish Food where can I find that at??
Listed in the description on the link
It comes with the kit
Showwww
Thanks
This fly is my favorite. I caught so many trout out in paradise valley with this fly last summer. They love it
Why you are talking too much, we are looking every thing, not need too much talk
Oh yeah. You don’t like my talking? Well I don’t like your typing! That settles that.
I was under the impression that super glue would melt .....?? Great video thanks
melt the foam
