COOPER'S HOPPER - Fly of the week - November 15, 2010
COOPER'S HOPPER
Everyone loves hopper patterns!*I don't know of a fly fisherman who doesn't carry them during the summer and early fall months. It?s a 'go-to-fly' during those dog days of summer --- even if you don't see them on the water. Crickets, deer-flies, ants --- they all take a back seat to the almighty 'HOPPER' !
Another Fly Of The Week by Tom Deschaine.....
Tom Deschaine has done it again, another great fly pattern, and better yet it is a pattern from the mid 1930's, originated by Ken Cooper.
This is the 24th "Fly of the Week" article submitted by Tom Deschaine, the other 23 are also great fly patterns to use even today...
All are great patterns that you can dress and use on your own home waters!

I had made comment last night in the chat room about this pattern. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks Old Man GO IRISH!
A most excellent hopper pattern. Can't wait to tie some up.
