Please join John who will be hosting the tying of the GFA Foam Hopper. This is a great all-around attractor pattern in late summer when larger terrestrials are out. This is a great searching pattern with a dropper underneath. It’s also very buoyant allowing for heavier droppers to be used.
Ingredients:
Hook: 2 or 3 X-long hopper hook – Sizes 6-14
Thread: UTC 140 Denier – Tan (or equivalent to suit the foam colour)
Underbody: Dubbing
Body: Craft Foam, 2-3mm – Tan/Yellow
Wing: Elk hair, cleaned and stacked
Hot Spot: Bright Craft Foam or other indicator material – 2mm
Legs: Striped round-rubber legs – Medium
