Wow! Now have a better understanding of foam cutters and why they are handy for foam flies. Nice technique tying in the legs and getting them even on both sides.
I really love this big(#10) dry hook. Thanks for your video.
Your videos really are a plesure to watch :) by far the best eddit of all
Thank you for your videos. Incredible work
Fantastic Teaching Skills. Even I can tie this fly! Thank-you
Very good video! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Great hopper!
Awesome videos! Your videos are what inspired me to start tying my own flies a long while back. Keep up the great work! I would also like to ask if you can do a video on how you organize your fly desk or just some organizational tips. That would be awesome to see! Thanks!
Awesome video. Just what I was looking for
Just ordered that stacker got the small one will certainly try this one out
I like the simplicity.
Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!
This is definitely one of the more minimalist hopper patterns I’ve seen. Do you like this pattern just because the simplicity makes it a more versatile attractor, or does the idea of “less is more” apply for hoppers just like it does for so many other insect imitations? Either way, I’m all about fewer steps. Thanks!
The only thing that spooks me is relocating the thread to the head at the end and leaving that single thread across the bottom. But the extra sally hanson's on the bottom should make it solid. Could you just whip finish over the hot spot?
yes.
Where can I found that Tool for cut the pieces? Amazing video I love it, SUB!!!
Which of the River Road Creations cutters did you use for that foam? In the video it looks like the sides are straight and parallel until the last portion where there is a taper. When looking at the options on the River Road Creations website, I don't see a pattern that looks like the one you have. It may be there, but several of the isolated pictures of the foam patterns themselves would not display on my browser (Safari). Thank you. Cheers,
Is that foam different in density from other fly foams? Seems the stuff I bought is really dense although it is labeled "fly foam"
I'm new to all this so learning as much as I can, thanks!!
@@69adrummer It’s pretty much all the same stuff, maybe slightly different densities but not enough to make a difference
@@tightlinevideo Thank you for the reply sir. It has been a true delight and joy watching you and Cheech and Galloup and a few others as I venture down this new trail. I've learned so much and I thank you!! Be well.
very good
Awesome video as usual, but I do have one question. The cutter that you used...is it the small "Tapered Chernobyl" style cutter?
Where is the best place to buy online flying materials?
Hi wonderful pattern, where do you buy the foam cutter???
River Road Creations
Where can I get the foam cutter?
I use size 8 to 14 for my hoppers..
What company makes those legs
Wapsi
Which websites do you recommend that sell fly tying supplies?
can you say what you use on legs? i cant find this rubber,
Medium round rubber legs. I also like using old bass jig skirts.
