Summertime

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.

Brooks' Sprout Midge

Tim Flagler demonstrates the very popular Brooks' Sprout Midge. So very simple, so extremely 

effective. A fantastic midge pattern that everyone should have well stocked in their flyboxes, no doubt in various sizes ranging from 16 - 24, and running the color gambit.
