WWKimba 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2022 Jo's flies Day 3. Top Hopper - Developed in the early '60's, this pattern was tied in many variations by Josephine. She would sometimes use a lime green chenille body, the tail could be tied with red or yellow hackle as well, she would replace the woodchuck with 2 turkey quills tied down along the back, and on special request - she would tie on a size 6 hook. Hook - Mustad 94840, 8-12 Thread - black Tail - orange hackle fibers, this will dip downward due to the weight of the chenille Body - dark olive chenille, tied extended by looping over tail Wing - woodchuck guard hairs, tied Trude-style and extended beyond the bend of the hook Hackle - brown, tied heavy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2022 Jo's flies - Day 5. Brown Stone - This Josephine Sedlecky-Borsum tie is NOT brown NOR is it a stonefly pattern! It's actually tied to imitate the Michigan Hexagenia hatch and is a fine fly for browns. On special orders Jo would tie this pattern up to a 1 size hook. This is one of her VERY few patterns that did not use the Mustad 94840 hook. Hook - Mustad 9672, 2-10 Thread - black Tail - white calf tail tied long (white bucktail was used on size 1 & 2 hooks) Wing - white calf tail, tied upright and divided (white bucktail was used on size 1 & 2 hooks) Body - white chenille Rib - 2 white hackle feathers palmered forward together Hackle - white Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2022 The green tentacled starling fish snatcher (I know everybody likes a name for a fly) Im pretty sure if I fished for trout this would kill them but I don’t so it will have to catch pannies in the creek. Hook - 14? Found it on the floor Thread - yellow olive 70 ultra Tail - green tentacle from a child’s ball Body - stripped peacock herl Wing - wood duck flank Hackle - starling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RexW 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2022 Bob Hopper 2.0 Hook: Size 14 1xl nymph hook Underbody: Ice Dub dubbing Body: 2 mm foam in whatever color you want Wing: I used FTD's Congo Hair, but EP fiber or even deer hair works fine Legs: Your favorite material Indicator: The original uses a slip of bright foam, but I've found FTD's PIP material works extremely well as an indicator and the pink is easy to see. This Hopper pattern was developed by Yellowstone area guide Walter Weise. This is an easy to tie hopper pattern that catches more fish than the more complicated hopper patterns that I've tried. I've been fishing this pattern for at least 8 years and recently I noticed that Walter posted a new video online with some modifications to the pattern. He added the dubbed underbody and switched from a thin wire dry fly hook to using a nymph hook. After trying them, I like these modifications. Who would have thought to even tie a size 14 hopper pattern? But, it works very well! The color pink is popular in Yellowstone and I've found the Bluegill and bass like a blue/green version in Texas when those tiny Katydid looking green grasshoppers are active in the summer. This is a quick pattern to tie that catches fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
