Anyone every heard of a Chaotic Hopper ?? What is the pattern/recipe
GOOGLE found a "Chaos Hopper"

All of the flies I tie have a chaotic look--no two alike :lol:
If that Chaos Hopper is not the one you were looking for, it sure was a nice one to find instead. (Adding it to favorites for future reference.) EVA foam really has a place in the fly tying box even though the supply houses do not seem to carry it.
PS my purist uncle is rolling over in his grave. The only concession he ever made to expediency was tying wets on X heavy hooks.

The Chaos Hopper and improved chaos hopper are both on this page.

Do you mean a "Chaos Hopper"? If so, it is a Blue Ribbon Flies pattern out of West Yellowstone, MT.
