Six (6), size eight, GFA Hoppers tied with tan foam, gold deer hair wing, and a dark gold flash underwing

Walter Wiese's GFA Hopper has been around for some years and quickly became a favorite of mine the moment I discovered it. My favorite feature of the fly is the segmented underbody. That little bit of realism often makes a difference when targeting picky fish. It's a great terrestrial pattern for panfish (and trout!).
