Pink Pookie - Montana Foam Hopper Fly Tying - Dean Reiner Fly Pattern

BUY MATERIALS ONLINE: amzn.to/3f6ORcB
The Pink Pookie is a hopper pattern developed by Dean Reiner in Montana. The Pink Pookie imitates a grasshopper and the fish really go crazy for it! The Pink body is very different than many other hopper patterns out there. But don't be fooled by the bright appearance, this pattern really fishes!! The Pink Pookie is usually tied in sizes #06 and #08, but larger and smaller versions can be tied. The best color is...of course...Pink. But many other anglers tie them in Tan, Yellow and Olive. A great terrestrial pattern to have in your summer Montana Hopper box!!

Dear god, man. Get a mouse pad or a book to bang the stacker on. That is outrageous.

So I’ve been tying my own flies for a few years now, still look into different patterns a lot and will for a lifetime. However, I have read on forums that it is better to just buy flies instead? Anyone believe this? I feel tying your own gives variety, and allows you to have a more durable fly with alterations that match your local hatches or bugs. What do y’all think!?

Not that a reply is any better, but for the sake of this video (and others), I think you'd be better off addressing a question like this in one of the forums you mentioned you've read or participate in. It's my belief that the "comment" section below a video such as this, should be reserved for specific Q&A in reference to said video. Not random discussion

Why would you come on a FLY TYING video and ask if it isn't just better to BUY flies?

If your only goal is to save money.... Not worthit . Maybe in the long run, but not short term. I've spent so much on tools and materials. It's more of a hobby for most. Most of the flies I tie get used pretty infrequently... There's maybe 12 patterns I use all the time. It's about creating something. I'm a terrible artist and can't draw so tying flies satisfies the creative side. So yeah, it's worth it to me. Wintertime hobby, I have every fly I could possibly need and it's more satisfying catching fish on your flies.
