Hoppers?

[Trevor K]

Ahh, that does make sense Jeremy. Thanks for all the tips everyone. I'll be down on Aug. 7 and 8. I'm hoping to do some night fishing while I'm there. I've never had much luck at it myself, but that seems to be what a lot of people do. Could be that I just don't have enough experience with it.

Just takes time to figure out the whole night thing. I just started going at night this summer, just a handful of times so far, and I've had a really good night with lots of strikes and several fish caught but then I'd have a completely dead night the next night. It still puzzles me. Just need to spend more time on the water and experiment with more streamer patterns. Its a blast though...I absolutely love it.

Now I need to work on a hopper pattern that can accomodate a glo stick

What do you mean by this? I'm curious

Once in a while I still have something hit my lighted indicator at night, I think it is smaller fish just making a pass at it thinking it was a lightening bug. It could be larger fish but none have engulfed it enough to take it down. I don't think incorporating a glo stick into a fly would still make a legal fly because of the plastic but then most lures rapalas, rat-L-traps and other floaters are hard plastic. But if I did tie one I guess you would have to tie the hopper and leave a couple of copper loops on the bottom along the hook shank so you could break the light sticks and insert one in the loops and tighten them up. Now someone will try it and start a debate over whether their "strike indicator" is legal or not.
