FEB Hoppers and Quivera Kid
Quivera Kid was up here last weekend. Unfortunately I had to work and didn't get to fish with him, but he came by the store to say hi and left me a handful of really nicely tied soft hackle wet flies to test out for him. I had tied up some of John Scotts FEB Hoppers earlier in the week. So, when I got a day off this week, I headed out to the local pond and took my new flies for a swim
First the Kid's flies:

It did really well until I left it in a tree just out of reach:rolleyes::

Then I switched to the hopper:

That one I managed to keep out of the trees. I put the rest of the Kid's flies in my "pattern only" box by my desk so I'd have them for models along with an FEB hopper. Great flies guys and thanks for, at least vicariously, going along and helping me catch a few fish!
