New Hopper Pattern...Thunder thighs

I am always searching for new fly patterns to tie create but also find and utilize others creative ability.  I found this awesome foam grass hopper pattern and immediately had to tie up a half dozen.  They are fun and relatively easy to tie.  They should work great on my trip to Montana in early September.  Here is the link in which I found the pattern: http://hopperfishing.wordpress.com/

Here are some different angles of my first attempt, they are fun to tie!

Fishing report from Memorial Day

I went out fishing with an old friend from Montana and his two sons.  This was their first trip to the driftless area, but I am sure it will not be their last.  We had a blast catching scores of browns and brookies.  In fact, Bill and myself went out on Saturday and caught about 100 fish in 7 hours, nothing huge but tons of fun.  It was some of best dry fly fishing I have seen with fish rising to a large slate colored dun in the size 12-14 range...really fun.  Should have taken pics...but was lazy.  Now that the heat has set in, I plan on heading north this weekend to go slam some bass on the 8wt!  I will try and bring back pics this time.  Stay cool.
