The Lil' Hollywood Hopper uses a new hook, the Umpqua C550BL, to take advantage of the open hook gape while still providing a smaller hopper body. This provides a strong hook to land those bigger fish and knowing the hook is sharp enough and strong enough to hold them. This pattern can be tied using standard rubber legs as opposed to the MFC legs.

I like it!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you have packs for these like you do for the Juanna Be? I'm to lazy to find all the right pieces
ReplyDeleteI don't. The cost of all the materials is kinda high. I also don't have enough materials to make a kit. I only have a few legs to do about 2 more hoppers.
DeleteGreat fly my friend. I recently bought the foam body cutters, and a friend shared your blog site with me. Now I know what to do with the new cutters. All that I have left is to find the rubber legs which I see are AWESOME
ReplyDeleteHave fun with them. They are one of my most used tools.
DeleteVery nice hopper. Have you fished it yet?
ReplyDeleteNot with this hook. I have fished them with a regular TMC 100 hook though.
DeleteI just picked up some cutters. I know what I'm tying tonight.
ReplyDeleteNICE!
