How to tie the Change Hopper

This one is for Gary Martin, he asked how the Fly Shops Change Hopper was tied, so here is my version of it.
The info below was taken directly from the Fly Shops page.
theflyshop.co....
Change Hopper was first given to me a Rutland by Andy Everett and was a key pattern to helping the army win the interservices title. I have used this fly all over the UK and it has proven a top fish catcher on all lines. When i joined the The Welsh Hawks the fly was known as the change hopper. Andy had fished with change and it had proven successful for them and the Welsh hawks had acquired the pattern from change and hence the name now being the Chang Hopper.

Turned out really Nice Lindsay. You make me laugh because of some of the things you say and do like pulling up on the whip finish at the end. You got me there. I like that.
Thankyou for making this video. Take Care.🌴🎣🏄‍♂️Aloha🤙🏼

Another great tie dude. And the bonus ‘superglue’ ending! Hilarious! Thanks for another one dude.

You are welcome pal.

[@aaronlambert8151]

Lovely fly, and a bonus to see that I've got everything in to tie it. Think I'll have a crack at that one later. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍

Glad you enjoyed it, fairly simple tie and you get a great fly.

Nice tip with the legs on the underside Lindsay!, I've always done it on the top side.
Nice hopper pattern.

Thanks Chris.

Seal’s fur as a combination of buoyancy and lifelike movement is perfect for use in top of the water patterns drys hoppers buzzers etc. The addition of the hint of a thorax to the hopper is a key and mainly missed feature that separates a good from a great fly. One of those many extra details that makes the subtle difference to a more cautious trout on the day.

Superb mate. Quality as always..... Ending was cracking. 😂

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I forgot about that....lol. Hope you are well pal.

[@anthonycaton850]

Lindsey what makes you use seals fur rather than Troutstalker scruffy dubbing on this fly for dubbing?

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi Anthony, seals fur is a much better material for its floating qualities. I don't always use it but I know that this pattern uses seals fur, hence I have used it in the tutorial.

Excellent.

Thanks 🙏

[@brianinsole9911]

Great looking tying . What size hooks would this pattern suit please ? Is your wax beeswax please ? If not supplier please . Do you think blue rib would work? Tight lines.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Anything from #10 to #16 it is just beeswax not so sure about a blue rib but worth a go 👍

[@brianinsole9911]

Do hoppers work in faster waters as well....

[@lindsayiflyfish]

a bushier hackle perhaps, but this is for the Stillwaters.
