Thanks for sharing.[fishon] [signature] Re: [Z1andonly] new hopper design - LordoftheFlies - 03-27-2009 LOL @ Made in China! Have you fished it yet? [signature] Re: [LordoftheFlies] new hopper design - Z1andonly - 03-27-2009 not yet and that was on the material I used [signature] Re: [Z1andonly] new hopper design - flygoddess - 03-27-2009 I like that China thing also. I did one similar last year. I used the rubber legs, I think I like yours better though. and here is what the fish see Great work, feel free to post more...PLEASE [signature] Re: [flygoddess] new hopper design - Z1andonly - 03-29-2009 Thanks thats the first hopper I have ever tied so. I hope better flies follow soon. What do you think about the wings.

I tie and use a closely similar pattern (Charlie Craven's version), but I love those rear legs on yours! [cool][cool] The trout likely don't care, but I gotta have some of those! [signature] Re: [Tarponjim] new hopper design - Z1andonly - 05-15-2009 rainy's foam hopper legs with permanent marker strips I just need some cash right now so if you know anybody that wants some just sent me a post [signature] Re: [Tarponjim] new hopper design - flygoddess - 05-15-2009 [quote Tarponjim]Joni: what are the rear "kicker" legs on your hopper?

Sportsmen's Warehouse had them in every color so I stocked up. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] new hopper design - Tarponjim - 05-15-2009 Thanks. I'll look around for some. [signature] Re: [Tarponjim] new hopper design - TS30 - 05-16-2009 Sportsmans in Midvale has them (as of this morning when I dropped by there) in many colors. They look pretty sweet! [signature] Re: [Z1andonly] new hopper design - HFT - 05-18-2009 Nice job Z1! should put a good sillouette on the water. $.75 you sell yourself short. I have a foam that is tan with a printed wood grain, I'll have to tie some legs like that. [signature] Re: [HFT] new hopper design - Z1andonly - 05-20-2009 ya just need some extra money the price changes depending on size [signature]
