Last summer was an interesting one for hopper fishing. I had a buddy test some flies for me, and it was a very common occurrence to get the ol' rejection. I crafted a sunken hopper tied on a 90 degree jig hook that he tied on every time he got rejected. It worked like a charm every single time the fish turned away for the dry. Sunken hoppers are severely overlooked, and can be very deadly if you are willing to swap flies for specific fish.
