GFA Hopper Pattern for MT Trip

[flyfishermann1955]

Michael,

I have some olive foam now, plus orange and will tie some more hoppers. Is this enough marabou
for the underwing your mentioned?




Thanks- Ken

That looks excellent Ken! That little bit of movement makes a big difference. I had a crazy day with my favorite hopper last week, missed 15 fish in a row...15! They were flying out of the water to grab the fly! The only difference was the hook. I went with a barbless hook, and even tho I pinch barbs on all hooks that is the only thing I can think of other than a gypsy curse perhaps. Hope you enjoy your trip!!
