Why do people that keep fish suck?
It only sucks if you do not eat the fish surely.
Personally i like to keep the few fish i catch and eat them, i’m not keen on catching fish and throwing them back time after time as i think the fish will die anyway due to the stress of being caught over and over again.
However if people wish to carry out catch and release then that is up to them and has nothing to do with me and i respect their way of fishing.
i love late summer hopper dropper action. walkin around deckers the hoppers are jumping around ur feet as u walk in late summer. so fun. they are good for warm water too. bass, bluegills.
yes they do. as long as their is brush and warm weather hoppers will work fine. i tend to use a hopper as my my lead fly in a tandem with a copper john tied about a foot below it.

Misfit:
– He is using hand-tied grasshopper imitiations. Looks like deer or elk hair for the body.
– You can do a search on YouTube for instructions on how to tie these up. Totally deadly on Western trout streams this time of year (Aug/Sep).
– Hope this helps.
