I really like that pattern a lot , thanks. Don't fish a lot of hoppers but a forthcoming trip dictates that I have some, which means I don't want to spend hours tying flies that will not be of much use to me later on. Four minutes a fly seems quite a reasonable investment for a fly that looks that neat. Thanks.
Very cool Matt, ive been tying patterns using that poke a hole in the foam technique in my head but havent actually put them on a hook. Gonna give it a shot right now.
Thanks POWARENJA, This is definitely one of the best Foam Hopper Flies out there, the pattern is simple, and compelling. Fishing with a Grasshopper Fly is big fun and trout can't help but take a bite! ~ MT
There's a ton o' hopper patterns out there, many of them effective. However, I'm not spending 15mins per bug when I can get it done in 4 or less. Thx for the inspiration!!
i haven't got a preference for that material. you could try ep fibers, but there are many synthetic materials out there that would work great for this hopper pattern. it helps if the material you use floats, other than that, you can make it any color you like. thanks for watching - mt
This foam hopper pattern can be tied in much smaller sizes, I suppose you can tie this fly as small as your skills, tools and materials allow. All I know is, Grasshopper eaters beware...

Why can't all tying vids be this straight forward and efficient?

i believe i use a size 12 for this hopper pattern, but you can tie this fly on any size hook you want!

I'll be trying this when I get home
This pattern works quite well for a Hi/Low or Hopper Dropper Rig.
I just tied one on a 16, I used for on a hopper dropper rig for panfish and they ate the heck out of it. Cut off my dropper because I did not need it.
How simple, gee an all black one on say a size 14 and you would have a great cricket.
Nice fly and what size was this hook?
Nice fly. How wide do you cut the foam? thanks
Hey Matt, nice simple hopper pattern...
Anything specific you would recommend for the "clump of fibers" that get tied in at the 1:15 mark?

how small can you tie this hopper?
