Beaverhead hopper

Saw a pic of this hopper on Hans site and would like to give it a try, Could anyone help me out on what type of foam I would buy for it if I went to a craft store? And also some instructions about how to tie it.

Thanks
Doug

EMail Chris Brozell, and ask him. I bet he would be happy to share the recipe with you.

After you tie a few up, and try them. Let him know how you like the fly

Actually, looks an awful lot like Ken Burkholder’s Club Sandwich to me. There are tutorials all over the web, such as this [url=http://shop.flyfishing.about.com/fly_archive/details/328.htm:bf2c2]one[/url:bf2c2].

I agree…it does look A LOT like a Club Sandwich…the foam for that is just normal 2mm craft type foam.


“GET THE DRIFT?”

Is there really an advantage to using the multicolored multi layered types of foam in these types of flies?

Coloring on the TOP of most bugs is for catching US.
The light coloring on top is grand for us old fartz to see easier.
Maybe.

dusckster,

That’s an interesting question for which there are probably some interesting answers. None of which I can supply. Anyone care to chime in?
