[VFB] Re: Dressing for Baler Hopper?

[Niclas Runarsson]

Foam hopper tying just suck you into it, doesn't it? Check my foam "hopper
tour" for a few
more ideas of what to try. (Jester contributed with his designs too):
http://www.swedneckflyfishing.com/hoppers.htm

In my CP I found that a site that linked to mine had more hoppers (among
other foam flies):

  Since the Hopper swap that Peggy organized, I am in a Hopper fly-tying
mood. My Harrison Steeves mini-hoppers turned out great. I have them
finished (for some time now) but have not yet mailed. I have just tied my
first Charlie Boy Hopper and I am really looking forward to giving these a
try on the weekend of 12-13 September.



  One hopper that I used to tie was called the Baler Hopper and had legs
made out of red/orange baling twine. Does anyone on the list have the
dressing for the Baler Hopper. I have googled but not located. Maybe it is
under a different name.



  Here are some pics of my Harrison Steves Mini-Hoppers for the swap

[VFB] Dressing for Baler Hopper?

[Nevile Gosling]

Joyce:

 

I found this on the "interview with John Foust" page but I cannot locate (a)
a picture and (b) the exact dressing.

 

"The Baler Hopper Foust designed had a bullet head elk hair, yellow foam and
an elk hair wing. He added orange polypropylene for legs which adds great
buoyancy. Same material as a water ski rope. They don't sink."

I talked with John Foust this evening..he will send me his Baler hopper
recipe. However, on doing a search of John Foust, on Google,I found this
pattern in his interview. I believe that this is his Baler hopper, and the
legs are the orange baling twine, knotted.  (I use yellow foam). You can
find his Polychute instructions in the Spring, 1997, vol2 ,#1  Flytying
magazine. 

 

Pattern: Polychute Hopper
Hook Size: 10-12
Thread: Olive
Tail: none 
Body: Golden olive Evasote / dub thorax section with golden olive
Wing: White poly yarn
Hackle: mixed brown and grizzly
Special features: We occasionally use legs

[VFB] Dressing for Baler Hopper?

[Nevile Gosling]

Hi Joyce:

 

I admire John Foust and saw him at a show in Seattle too many years ago.
This was the first time that I saw a bullet head tool that John was using.
I did the same with my Harrison Steves Mini-Hoppers but just used a short
length of latex tubing.  John Foust also had a pivoting wooden hair stacker.


 

I don't expect that I have that particular issue of Flytying Magazine.  I
had to cut back as I was spending too many $$ just to try and keep up.  I
now take just 2 magazines and they are Trout & Salmon and Fly Fishing & Fly
Tying which are both from the UK and are over $10.00 each.  I keep all my
magazines as they are my reference material. I have some English ones dating
back to when I bought them in 1957!

 

I just knew it as the baler hopper and have the twine but not the recipe.

 

Thank you very much Joyce.

Yes - I discovered this after I sent the e-mail. I tied to make it easier by
cutting out the long URLs.   They do work however.

 

If you go to the the VFB MAIL web page and click on files you will see them
there also.
