If this works as well as the Bob's Hopper's we fished with last September, this should be a winner! Man, did I catch the Cutts, thanks to you, Walter.

I just saw you commenting in a group on Facebook about switching to this from the GFA.... Great tie! I used the same dubbing on a different pattern. Do you still recommend the thread only on the smaller sizes? or do you use the dubbing on the smaller sizes as well?

[@YellowstoneCountryFlyFishing]

It varies by color. On the pink ones for example I still use thread only, whereas on the mustard-yellow ones that were hot last season, I use brown stone SLF dubbing on all sizes. Some colors I do both.

Walter are you still tying small pink hoppers.

[@YellowstoneCountryFlyFishing]

Yes. The #14 versions of the Bob Hoppers still use thread underbodies and the pink (and peach) are still generally the best colors.
