Hookers Hopper DSC07451.JPG
I wanted a more realistic foam hopper so I created this..."Hookers Hopper". Materials are as follows; Hook... Tiemco 100 #10. Thread...tan Uni 8/0. Abdomen, thorax, & head...tan 2mm foam. Back legs...knotted barbs from a pea fowl wing quill (or sub). Dubbing...tan UV2 High & Dry (or sub). Hackle...brown rooster saddle hackle. Wing...scotch tape & lt ginger hen saddle feather. Shell for head & thorax...tan razor foam. Antenna...squirrel whiskers (or sub). Eyes...epoxy & marker. You can tie this in any color you like, such as chartreuse or orange. If you'd like more specific tying instructions, just let me know.
