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 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
