    Default Charlieboy Hopper

    here's a hopper that floats like no one's biz....and uses foam instead of fur.

    Very nice. Al and Gretchen Beatty have a similar fly in their book, IInnovative Flies and Techniques, called a Clod Hopper. Very high folater also.

    it's a shiney mylar material that I used under the deer hair wing....I like the bleached hair because it's easier for me to see...

    Chewydog....that's it...great tutorial...I made a few minor variations.
