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?

Yep...it is an excellent hopper pattern, and also works well with a
dropper attached.
