I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
Here's another good place to look for inspiration:

Just something unique, and something that the fish haven't really seen before. If that makes any sense?
How about something they haven't seen much in a while, like a Letort Hopper? I love foam hoppers, but the Letort's a proven fly that doesn't get the publicity as it once did. Nice change of pace, especially in smaller sizes (#12-14); if you're getting refusals on your hoppers, downsizing often helps rekindle the fish's interest (thanks Wally).

The Letort Hopper is a great pattern. Your right Scott you really don't hear much about now adays. I guess with the advent of foam many new tiers may find it easier to work with then tying with deer hair.
This was actually the very first deer hair pattern I tried and have always have good success with it for our local panfish especially in mid summer time.

This site is worth the price of admission. The tutorials on his "thunder thighs" alone has got my gears going. So many tutorials, so little foam....Originally Posted by ScottP
