The Henry's Fork hopper is a well known terrestrial pattern that was created by Mike Lawson back in the 1070's. It was created for fishing the Henry's Fork river but it has grown to be a productive pattern on many streams as well as lakes. Mike's version was all elk hair but many these days are tied with all deer hair or some combination of the two (as it the one in the video). The version int he video does not have any legs tied on it but many tied these days as well as for sale have legs tied on them. There are some interesting techniques to tie this fly and it can be tied in many color variations to suit your needs and your waters. It is a productive fly for both coldwater and warmwater species! - Enjoy
