HOPPER’S FRY by ‘the Lord’ alias geraldsherbrook
By geraldsherbrook on Jan 18, 2009 in Classic Streamer and Wet Fly, Fly Patterns
longshank hooks 8-10-12 or shortshank 10 - white and black thread - body is white floss coverede entirely with pearl - ribbed with white copper or a fine silver iron thread - troath is honey dun or light brown hen or cock - wing is white marabou roofed with 2 slips of widgeon...
A real cracker of a little fry pattern
This pattern was invented in the 80 ties in the UK/England by a friend professional flytyer but also a wonderful competitor Glynn HOPPER from Lamberhurst in Kent...living nearby the well known reservoir BEWL WATER in Kent (wellknown by all the UK / Welsh / Scottish / Irish flyfishing competitors....euh as I was for the Belgium squad for a time...
His HOPPER's FRY stands still (25 years later) for me as for others for a good succesful fry pattern
in the photo you see also some of his other patterns I tie still regulary...as his Black Bumble with a blue fronthackle of partridge (not visibel in the photo) - his 'Dragon Fly' nymph and 'Orange Heavy Point nymph...all his patterns are still be found in a book by the English competior and author BOB Church...
GIVE THAT BABY a try on the bench...and what a sight in the water...irrisistabel...
