Legs: Knotted pheasant tail fibers
Thorax: Tan dubbing
Hackle: Grizzly

Tie in the rib at the tail then dub forward to the 60% mark and tie in a
brown hackle. Palmer the hackle backward and tie off with the rib. Wrap
the rib forward to the 60% mark and tie off. Trim the top side of the
hackle flat so the wing will fit properly. Tie in the wing, the legs and
a grizzly hackle at the 60% mark. Dub with tan dubbing to just before
the eye then wrap the grizzly hackle forward and tie off. Finish.

It looks like a Joe's Hopper with legs.


Thanks Ken ... I'll tie a few ....

slight aside .... in some fly shop somewhere I saw a pheasant tail feather
all neatly divided into pre-tied hopper legs ... doing that for a living as
got to be way down anybody's list of preferred gigs
