More GFA Hoppers

A buddy told me that the sunnies are KILLING Chartreuse foam hoppers on one of my home lakes. I didn't have any Chartreuse versions in the size I like to fish now, so I tied up a few, as well as a few in a darker green color with firetiger legs (good match for a local species).

Last week, I tried going out when I could. I ended up getting out just a few times, none of them for an hour. Only fished the chartreuse version, and they absolutely killed it!

I decided to tie up some more, as I tend to loose these things rather quickly.



And here's the other two in the second color scheme. Green with Firetiger legs.

These are all tied on 200R hooks, size 14. Excellent hookup ratio! The bug is just small enough for 'gills to get it down their mouths. Hybrid sunnies absolutely smash these. You think it's a LMB hitting a Pop-R!

look great! I use the 200R as well.

Nice hoppers!

Very nice

Inspiring. Nicely done.

Looks like a lot of fun to be had on a 3 wt and a good bluegill bed

Wish I had a 3wt! I've got a short, fiberglass 4wt that I need to put a leader on so I can fish.

I've been using my 8wt lately. The wind always blows here in OK. The heavier line helps with the wind. I need to build another leader for my 5wt, and start using that one again.
