Tonight I saw a pattern in my fly tying book called a Madame-X. It
said it could be used as a hopper, and it sat low in the water (like
some here have mentioned is a "good thing"). It looked real easy to
tie (I'm in my first season of tying so easy is a good thing right
now).

Any of you used this pattern with success as a hopper?

I'm going to give up one of my secret weapons here......tie the Madam
X all in black in size 10. It probably represents a cricket, or maybe
a large beetle, I don't know. What I do know, is once the Sulphur
hatch on my home water ends in August, this becomes my #1 dry pattern.
It is especially effective in September and October, and I have even
caught a few fish on it in November. Another good late summer/ early
fall producer for me is a Bumblebee, tied with deer hair on a size 10
hook.

The black makes sense as a cricket. Now that you mention it, I will
also tie it in a deer hair color that matches the olive grasshoppers
where I fish, rather than the natural color suggested in my fly tying
book......or maybe I'll tie all 3 colors: natural, olive & black.

We have different size hoppers around here, so I will also match the
more common sizes. This Madame-X fly will be a great addition to my
terrestrial box flies. Happy Days!!!

Don´t flatter yourself dumbo, you don´t cause me any problems, you are
just a nasty ignorant little man with the capability of insulting
others on the internet. There are thousands like you. It is just a
nuisance that you happen to be here.

As for wishing me no ill will, you are just as big a liar as
Fortenberry or LaCourse. The only reason for your stupid,ignorant,
and abusive posts, is precisely because you wish me ill. You have a
severe inferiority complex, just like LaCourse, which causes you to
try and aggrandise your achievements on here, and all you can do about
it is insult and denigrate your betters.

All the engineers I know, and that is quite a few, can spell, and
write intelligible English, even the Germans!

Did you get that psychology degree the same place you got the
engineering degree? If your going to study courses advertised on
match book covers I'de recommend you stick to court reporting,
stuffing envelopes and locksmithing.

I don´t have a psychology degree. Nor do I need one. This is a fly-
fishing group. I only need to know something about fly-fishing here.

What degrees you may have, or what else you may have been or done are
irrelevant to somebody who wants to discuss or learn about fly-
fishing.

Your childish attacks are boring and stupid, and one does not need a
psychology degree to see that they are borne of your ignorance and
jealousy.

"This is a fly- fishing group. I only need to know something about fly-
fishing here." Wrong!
This is a group the the members of which share a love of fly-fishing.
The memebers are an intelligent and interesting lot. Their combined
life experience and education makes for an interesting forum. In case
you haven't noticed they share their opinions on food, drink, travel,
cars, politics etc. etc. Were this a dull group composed entirely of
"Dumbos" these discussion would become dull and uninteresting and roff
would soon die out.
While some are missinformed ( particullary on politics ) most are
interesting. If your going to participate you need to know a little
more of the world than just the technical parts of fly fishing.
If your thin skinned or get upset because folks don't accept you as
being gods gift to flyfishing your going to have some problems.
Thats my opion as based on 12 hrs of college level psychology ( no
match book cover courses ) , 9 hrs of OBOT classes, casual reading
and just dealing with people.
Don't let the computer screen give you the red-ass, it's not good for
you.
