did you guys think that 'hopper' was something the fish were really looking
for? Or just one of many things they might have sampled if it looked like
it might be food? You too rw, on the bank feeders

Actually, I meant the middle part of Rock Creek as opposed to the upper part. I
caught my fish right up against the bank too.

There were hoppers around so maybe the fish were keying on them, or maybe they
just heard the plop and saw something big and juicy looking. One place I tried
the usual suspects (Adams, stimulators, humpy's, PMD's, etc) with no luck and
then switched to a foam hopper like I had used on the Yellowstone and caught 8
or 9 browns in about 30 minutes.
