Synopsis of Class
|
Summer time means hot sticky days and lots of bugs. The only hatch needed to match during the hot part of summer is the
terrestrial hatch. One of the most popular flies of the terrestrials is the grasshopper. Grasshoppers not only work for
trout (if you have some of those fish near by) but they work real well for bass and panfish. By simply tying the the flies
in smaller sizes you can catch panfish all day. In this class you will learn to tie four different grasshopper patterns.
The Green Machine, Madame X, Joe Hopper and the Wind River Hopper. All of these are interesting and productive patterns
for whatever freshwater fish you happen to pursue.
All tying material will be provided. You will need to bring the
following tying equipment.
- A vise
- A Bobbin
-
Tying Thread (for this class, black, brown and olive 6/0 or 8/0)
- Head Cement
- Scissors
- Half hitch tools and/or Whip Finish Tool
