I'm Hoppin Back on board

Not to bore you with personal items, but I'm back after quite a round of major personal detours, including brain surgeries, up-rooting and re-locating 700 miles, then getting down-sized, and having to re-establish my business in non-home environment. I have a lot of catching up to do, and FAOL is at the top of my list

So, to make this interesting, here's a hopper pattern I tied for a very nice and patient lady in Texas, to decorate her fishing cabin in Colorado (along with 4 other 14/0 Fantasy Flies).

That is a whopper hopper

Must be a Texan Hopper by the size of it. What do you figure, maybe a 14 weight fly rod to cast it?

Nice job Don.

I have a 17Wt. Cam Siegler and a #5 Abel, but I don't even think that will cast it.

Sounds like your life has be full, glad to hear you survive the trip and welcome back. You always had some interesting offering.

Welcome back.

Ed

Yes, what Ed D said, Welcome back!

Don Its with Warm arms we welcome you back. I'm glad to see you doing well.

If I see that hopper in the wild, I'm going the other way. Welcome back.
