This is the GFA hopper, originated by Walter Wiese. It’s one of my favorites to use as a grasshopper and stone fly imitation in the summer months. It's durable, floats like a cork, and offers an excellent profile in the water. Whether you fish it alone or tie a dropper under it you won’t be disappointed having a few of these along this spring!

Very good fly, had the most success with a version using black foam and brown dubbing.

Thank you for your info. I’d like to try this!

@andreasschiller5875 Год назад

I love this pattern. I mainly fish terrestrial flies for coarse fish, this one looks fantastic.

@charlieboutin3341 Год назад

Awesome fly! I’ll definitely be making some. I’m going to tie knot in back legs to give it a bend. ( I also tie one almost the exact same. I made a version of the local Llano bug, also a Great fly. These are my “Go To” flies to catch fish.) Largemouth love em! Thanks for sharing this! 👍👍👌🎣

The way you tied the hair was my favorite part. Thanks!!

So neat and amazing to watch this... Wish I had the talent and equipment to tie flies too... Awesome job!

Get some locking needlenose pliers or find a way to jig it up and get it to hold at this angle, then hit a fly shop and buy materials

@archer41eh Год назад

I like that hair stacker!

@BassinWithBigMalone Год назад

That's a sweet one there!!

@JoshyWoshy4-ss9nr 11 месяцев назад

I used to use live hoppers to catch trout, you see catching the trout is the easy part, the hopper on the other hand... Great substitute!

@currentfisher 11 месяцев назад

This is the exact hopper I’ve been fishing the last two weeks… and I didn’t even know it!

@twaanjackson Год назад

I should get some for my trip out to Spearfish Canyon this year!!

@hitmonkey2984 Год назад

So. I'm gonna ask a stupid question. Would you be willing to do some tutorial videos on the basics of fly tying, going over tools and whatever? I'm wanting to get into tying, but I don't know where to start.

@charlieboutin3341 Год назад

There’s lots of videos on beginning tying. I inherited a vice many years ago. The first thing local flyshop owner sold me was Charlie Cravens Basic Fly Tying book. I read it cover to cover 6 years ago. It was around $30. I’ve literally spent thousands of dollars since then 😂. I have to say it was the best $30 I spent, still refer to it often. Just get an inexpensive kit to start, if you don’t like it your not out much. I’ve hopped on both feet, probably be at the flyshop tomorrow! 😅 Hope you get into tying. Nothing like catching fish on flies you make, especially ones you design for specific circumstances. Good fishing to you! Have fun! 👍👌🎣
