Los Alamos Hopper (modified Harrison Steeves pattern)
By letumgo on Jun 27, 2008 in Fly Patterns, Warmwater
Hook - Mustad Model 9672/Size 8
Thread - Black UNI-Thread (6/0)
Underbody - Tan Foam Triangle (1" long x 3/8" wide)
Tails - Legs Alive (Brown)
Body - Six strands of peacock herl (reinforced with tying thread)
Hopper Legs - TNT Hopper Legs (Brown legs colored with red and green Sharpie Markers)
Upper Body - Brown Foam Triangle (1" long x 3/8" wide)
Front legs - Legs Alive (Brown/Two strands each side)
Strike Indicator - Small strip of yellow foam (1/8" wide x 3/8" long)
Tyed like a Los Alamos Ant Pattern, but the hopper legs are glued in with superglue before the top foam triangle is tyed down. See my post for the Los Alamos Ant for tying instructions.
