Summer time calls for hoppers on most rivers of the US. In the west, I am very partial to fishing hoopers starting in July through first frost. Then maybe some more because our finned friends cannot
resist them.
Because myself and other fly-tiers must come up with new patterns all the time, it is impossible not to
have an impressive selection hoppers of every size and color. It is alright to be a collector.
Warm weather, tall grasses, get out and throw a hopper.
