My buddy was having a tough day on one of our trips to Hayden meadows until he found a large black hopper fly that a guy had lost in the bushes. He said he had good success after he tied that black hopper on.
A couple of weeks later we disected the fly. We wanted to figure out how it was made. But my I have yet to make an exact replica that floats the same. The one of the strange things about this fly is that the dubbing is black but when I take a picture of it the dubbing it has a ruby tinge to it that makes it look dark red more than black.
