I'd be careful there Fred, tie too many of them and they will eat all your crops..... Nice, Jeff.

Thanks Guys, but don't think of it as a show fly it's for throw. The pattern is really very simple . I tend to go a little overboard with the markers .It's just alot of fun. This one , I hope will bring me some nice fat largemouths.

Fred - Your insect creation brought a big smile to my face. The thought of fishing with this fly just seems so cool! I can just picture a fish smashing this thing...too cool.

Wow , Simply amazing!! Looks like the real thing to me. I'd love to throw that fly in some of the rivers that I fish in Wisconsin. I bet the trout would go nuts. Wolfriverfisher (Craig)

Thanks , Ray , Ridleyffo and Craig. This fly shape is very generic as hoppers go.You could tie up a bunch of them uncolored and take them to the water and with a few markers ,match the hatch.
