Default The hopper myth?


"Tim Lysyk" wrote
use is called the Flat Creek Hopper, and is from the same book. It floats
like a cork, and the trout will really hammer it. I used it on a float
trip down the Oldman River once. I would float it along the bank, and the
rainbows would just slam it.



I googled the p0attern and found a picture

I was also inspired to find my fly box and add this to my website ... the
pattern shown was the result of "what I have to work with" more than real
design ... pheasant would make nicer legs, Ken's turkey a better wing ...
but now I'll be motivated to get the ugly pattern off my site G and work
until I find a hopper I can love G
