When it comes to foam hoppers...
 

  Even though I love foam as a tying material, I had never put myself into the hopper part of it. The foam flies I mostly use are beetles, ants and "regular" patterns with foam purely as boyancy assistance.
  One day though, I decided to try one out, just for fun. The Charlie Boy Hopper (originator: Charlie Craven) that I chose, became the start of a true foam hopper obsession. After that one I was caught in it. Soon I sat in front of the computer looking for more patterns to tie... and after a few of those patterns I was soon out in uncharted territory.

Yep... it sure was a beautiful day. :o)
