Thanks thats the first hopper I have ever tied so. I hope better flies follow soon. What do you think about the wings.

Joni: what are the rear "kicker" legs on your hopper? I tie and use a closely similar pattern (Charlie Craven's version), but I love those rear legs on yours! [cool][cool]

The trout likely don't care, but I gotta have some of those!

The legs are rubber. They come on a stem and you cut them off like Model parts. Sportsmen's Warehouse had them in every color so I stocked up.

Sportsmans in Midvale has them (as of this morning when I dropped by there) in many colors. They look pretty sweet!

Nice job Z1! should put a good sillouette on the water. $.75 you sell yourself short.
I have a foam that is tan with a printed wood grain, I'll have to tie some legs like that.
