I played around with this pattern (copied hopper) a couple of months ago. It's been a go to top water for my last few trips. Doesn't sit high, but it will pop and gurgle if jerked. It's been doing well on sunfish and small bass. Going to try a new color combo tomorrow.

The original color combo:

slightly different color combo tied last night ... ready to fish tomorrow:

a pheasant tail and a couple of needle flies

A Scottish technique I think.

Retrocarp, the idea for needle flies came from Greys of Kilsyth.

Cheers,

Here's some streamers I kicked out.

 

Pattern:

VMC Stream Fly 4X Long #2 Hook

Danville's 210 Waxed Fly Master Plus Thread

Chartreuse Rexlace Plastic Lacing (Hobby Lobby)

Silver Rope Tinsel (Wal-Mart)

White Hackles

Chartreuse Buck Tail

Very interesting! Kind of a fusion of several patterns. I like them.

Gonna add that to my "want-to-tye" list.

Retro ... I tie my "copied hopper" on size 8 Eagle Claw from Walmart. For those of you who go in to Walmart ... on the bottom shelf, below all the other hooks, will be a box. Four rows of Eagle Claw hooks in sizes 2 through ... 8 or 10.

These are light wire hooks and the "copied hopper" floats well with that hook.

I've tied them on ... more substantial ... heavier hooks and there's not enough foam to float it, but it does "suspend".

 

So, tied on a light wire hook, it's a great, subtle top water fly. On a heavier hook, it's a good drowned bug.
