November Hopper ....
... aka FEB Hopper.
Fished my home water yesterday afternoon. After wearing out an OC pattern, I looked in my fly box and noticed a couple FEB Hoppers left over from last summer. One was a pointless version and I started with it. Had a half dozen fishies hit it hard enough that they would have hooked up on a pointed version.
Moved on to another spot and again started with an OC pattern. After it was worn out, I tied on a pointed version of the FEB Hopper. Got some really good action with it, to include the above 17" West Slope cutthroat. Went back to the first place I had fished, and landed a bunch more fishies with the November Hopper.

P.S. Here is a bonus pic with a smaller fishy.
