LOL @ Made in China!

[signature]
not yet and that was on the material I used

I like that China thing also.
I did one similar last year. I used the rubber legs, I think I like yours better though.
and here is what the fish see
Great work, feel free to post more...PLEASE

Thanks thats the first hopper I have ever tied so. I hope better flies follow soon. What do you think about the wings.

anybody want some I need some extra cash right now
[signature]
if any body needs some hoppers will tie some up for 75 cents-$1 depending on the size

Joni: what are the rear "kicker" legs on your hopper? I tie and use a closely similar pattern (Charlie Craven's version), but I love those rear legs on yours! [cool][cool]
The trout likely don't care, but I gotta have some of those!

The legs are rubber. They come on a stem and you cut them off like Model parts. Sportsmen's Warehouse had them in every color so I stocked up.

Thanks. I'll look around for some.

Sportsmans in Midvale has them (as of this morning when I dropped by there) in many colors. They look pretty sweet!

Nice job Z1! should put a good sillouette on the water. $.75 you sell yourself short.
I have a foam that is tan with a printed wood grain, I'll have to tie some legs like that.
