The ole Classic Size 14 Hank Roberts Deer Hopper was legendary along front range Colorado and still works. It is what people like Dave Whitlock took ideas from on his patterns. I even kept the idea of a Deer Hair Spun and Clipped Body for my Deer Creek Plopper Series of Hoppers, Crickets, and Cicada.

Here's a fun one to tie and fish. Pink is a great hopper color and this incorporates some of the natural yellows as well:

I really like the Tomsu Supreme Hopper and the thunder thighs hoppers. Sam's one bug is simple and effective, but if you are really looking for a hopper pattern this one is dynamite!

The FEB Hopper looks better here than in the vice ...
