Thanks Niveker- wasn’t sure if it was only for expert tiers

If that was the case, I'd never post.

I do and that's the size of the PMDs around here.

Yeah, who would?

That's a neat pattern

I tied a few of those yesterday. Norm inspired me.

Texas Hopper - Art Winnie designed this hopper fly in 1949.  Though he never said what type of animal hair was used on the underwing, he did say that the material helped to make a rugged tie.  Also, calf tail and squirrel tail were commonly used materials at that time.  The fly got its name because the first big order Art got for this fly was from the state of Texas.

Congratulations and thanks to all posting all the flies this month. You need to know how much, those of us not tying for a while for a variety of reasons appreciate and enjoy your efforts.

+1 on @MuskyFlyGuy's sentiment.  I wish I could post (and tie) way more than I do.

In the meantime, I can enjoy all the flies that are posted here daily.

That's an awesome looking tie Scott - very neat colors!  I'd have that one "framed" if I was remotely capable.

Weed Seed - Created in the mid- to late 2000's by Mike Schultz, the owner and head guide of Schultz Outfitters of Ypsilanti, MI.  This is one of those patterns that looks like nothing and everything.  It's a typical guide pattern - a quick and easy tie that's deadly on the water!
