As for advice on hopper fishing......
The season starts when grasshoppers are out and about.[/quote]
And sometimes much earlier...I have had two successful hopper trips already this year. The first one was in early April during a snowstorm and the second was over Memorial weekend. On neither trip did I see an actual live grasshopper on or near the water, but the fish were happy to take them. Don't be afraid to try them out when fish seem to be aggressive. And, just because the time of year is too early for hoppers or too cold, doesn't mean they won't work!
