Fly Tying with Hans- Hans' Hopper

For materials visit our Webstore: shop.flyfishsd.com
There are many great hopper patterns out there. This pattern combines bits and pieces of several hopper patterns, with a couple of unique twists.
As with most foam patterns, this hopper floats well. The accents of uv ice dub, cdc, and web wing add a few new triggers.
Tie in Tan, Olive, and Yellow.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for posting these videos. They are very easy to follow, very fun to tie, have a complete list of materials, and they look awesome! So far I have tied your "creepy crawler" stonefly pattern (which landed me a beautiful 'bow on the Boise River by the way) and I just tied a couple of these hoppers, my 2 year old thought they were real bugs Haha! You can bet I will be using more of your patterns as well. Thanks again Hans, keep em coming!

great looking hopper !

[@fishingmaniac98]

That's a nice fly!

[@hansrcsd]

It depends on the rubber leg material. Some rubber legs tend to be a bit more slick feeling, but i find a small dab of super glue works to keep them from loosening at the joints.

great pattern..i just tied 2 dozen as i am leaving for montana nxt week for a week of hopper fishing..thnx

[@hansrcsd]

Thanks for watching. Will post a couple more hopper patterns soon. They don't have to be complicated to catch fish, but they are fun to tie. the next video will be an easy to tie pattern that has taken a great number of fish for me.

Nice hopper

[@mikejessmax]

Shouldn't need a sighter on that thing, you could see that hopper for miles. Just one question...how does it float?

[@ВладФёдоров-п9м]

Красивая! Здорово!

[@nikrguy]

I see lots of elaborate hopper patterns like this. They're beautiful for sure, but do you think these catch more fish?

[@TheEzzieboy]

more than what?

[@EnriqueSantiagofly]

You are a truth artist!

[@johnathanakr]

@nikrguy Personaly I have had alot of luck with hoppers and Bass. Not caught a trout on a hopper yet, but then I almost never use a hopper when fishing for trout.

hi Hans.. fantastic design.. i've tried doing a few and i like yours.. I am a beginner but I am having same issue you did in video- the body twists on the hook all thru the tying process and by the time i'm done the alignment is all off.. What have you done to solve this??
Thanks!

[@hansrcsd]

Hi John, One solution is to use super glue along the thread base before you fold the foam over for the abdomen- 1:50 during the video. Thanks for watching! Hans
