Fly-Fishing Instruction Super Hopper Dropper 

One of the best fishing videos that I have seen. Informative, clearly explained, and I like his respectful relationship with nature's abundance.

Wow, nice video,great innovative ideas, and the biggy is bothering to mention to wet and cool your hands before touching fish.thousands of well intentioned individuals think just cuz a fish swims away its okay,..thats is false.If a 98 degree hand touches 40 degree fish,..the fish will often go into shock,even though it swims away it will go belly up after swimming away.thank you for spreading the word, you rock.

that was an incredible instructional... thanx for sharing those gems. i use the hopper dropper combo but never thought to try it using an adjustable hopper... makes a lot of sense. i never thought to use a double dropper behind the hopper either. looks like i have to think outside of the box more!

...nice work Mike and very responsible...practical...no nonsense and very fun...

Excellent video Mikey,one of the best instructionals around. Thanks for sharing this innovative and effective rig.

Totally sikkkk! Love what you're doing with both the patterns and the technique. Nice work w/ everything and thanks for sharing.

Terrific, great video and I like your setup, slick.

thanks for the tutorial--very easy to understand and very informative--i'll have to tie up some hoppicators--your droppers look great as well--great info on how to fight larger fish!

Great tip. I fish barbless so, this is great for my dry hopper setup.

hey man, nice job. i tried this set up and it worked pretty nice i only got 6 3 lb fish that day, they all hit the weighted fly or the hopper. but still amazing work thanks for the tips.

Thanks Mikey, will have to give that dropper set up a try tomorrow :)

i wish idaho was like that, fucking damn thats badass, so not only do you show your invention but you work it and obviously it succeeds with great results, hot damn buddy

mikey weir, the main mufasa.....ur taking me fishing when i come to tahoe (aug 7 bud!!!) burkey

@30gills the loop is mono like 8lb test and you just tie it into the fly, in the beginning of the shank of the hook

thanks this set up will make the duo easier my friend thanks again.

Good Tips , Great Idea

yeah..very nice and i like to try this....thanks mike.

I like this Mike. I would like a little info of the "loop" knot which you use to adjust the depth of your fly.

Thanks for the great info. Would like to know more about tying the hoppicator.

Nice fish!!!

@bonesyboy333 These flies can be bought through fly fishing specialtiy shops that sell Idylwilde Flies.

super tip, man tx a lot! nice way to handle a fish, btw... Cool stufffffffffffff

I will need to try this Thanks

perfect video ^^

nice video. Thanks

can you make a video on how to tie the flies you are using? Great looking flies! Im curious on how to tie the hopper you are using, thanks

very cool!

You're my idol!

Killer ties, Mikey, and thank you. Some of us are more appreciative of a master jedi offering some free advice. Go look at MuddyButtCO's stuff if you want to learn how to tie on a rooster tail.

3:58 nice big rainbow 4:11 nice little fish hahaah

Nice :) Thank you.

how do you tie the mono loop on the shank of the hook?

cool so cool really cool

have you ever tried this method (mono loop system) on a Klinkhamer?

Mikey, if you don't mind, what do you use for the striated abdomen of the chocolate jawbreaker? This is just an amazing looking pattern and I'd like to give it a tie. thanks

Nice setup there. Thanks for the tips. Is that the East Carson?

yea but this is for sure the most efficient method i have seen

Mike Hey I like your hopper dropper but I have a few questions. Do you have the recipe for the caddis with the eyes and the jaw breaker? Also can you send me a picture or diagram of how to set up the hopper dropper? Do you add a loop to the back of the hopper when you tie it? Thanks

@FFSDenny Great thanks for this. Can you please tell me the names or send me a link to one of these shops? Does Idylwide have any shops in Australia?

Could you please tell me where this is?

Do you sell any of these hopper flies or any other dry fly patterns? I am very interested, so let me know.

agreed.

I was using something like that and a fish hit the top fly right close to me and it scared the shit out of me because it exploded two feet in front of me. All the other fish had hit the nymph so it really surprised me.

wait, lol i like it but what the hell? is there another eye on the back end?

cool tips... pretty country. where was this shot? ......check my saltwater fly fishing vids.......

tye them yourself its easy, look up (davie mcphail) he shows you how to tye caddis pupa sedge pupa, nymphs, bugs, drys, hoppers you name it he tyes it! good luck

Hm....Two seperate baits on a line?? Thats not legal here in Indiana, at least with bait fishing. we use one bait, one hook.

indcate this hopicator!!

Nice instructional vid, but you've gotta know this isn't a new idea, integrating mono loops into hopper/dropper patterns has been used for years.

Why use 3 flies sounds like guys from PHX...

this guy speaks and looks like the x-singer from Alice in Chains :p

What the hell is he talking about

very cool!
