Terrestrials are the hot fly this time of year and central Indiana is no different.  I am tying a number of hopper patterns for the main channel and so it is no surprise that as I stared into my remnant box of materials and spotting the TMC 200R hook a hopper pattern started to form in my mind.  I rather like this fly and in editing the footage for this final video I decided to work on this pattern some to simplify the tying process, make it look cleaner and make the tying of this hopper pattern easier.  Don't be surprised if you see this fly (or some version of it) in the future!    - - Enjoy

As I continue the Remnant fly series this and all future Remnant flies will be only on Locals (the Dressed Irons Guild) for those who support the community. After a year (or so) of being on the Guild community I will then publish them to everyone on YouTube. Exclusive content is one small way to thank those who support the Dressed Irons Guild Community.

If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.
