I'm Hoppin Back on board

[DonO1]

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.

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