Fly-Fishing Instruction Super Hopper Dropper

[30gills]

Mike

Hey I like your hopper dropper but I have a few questions. Do you have the recipe for the caddis with the eyes and the jaw breaker? Also can you send me a picture or diagram of how to set up the hopper dropper? Do you add a loop to the back of the hopper when you tie it?

Thanks

[freelans]

Mikey, if you don't mind, what do you use for the striated abdomen of the chocolate jawbreaker? This is just an amazing looking pattern and I'd like to give it a tie. thanks

[vvgmhod4]

One of the best fishing videos that I have seen. Informative, clearly explained, and I like his respectful relationship with nature's abundance.

[teamshady04]

how do you tie the mono loop on the shank of the hook?

[mrsunny811]

@teamshady04 just Google 'hopi-cator winona fly factory'

[dsk8er96]

Good deed for ackowledging the safety of the fish, and for reminding not to litter. oh, and the video was good to.

[urbanflyman36]

thanks this set up will make the duo easier my friend thanks again.

[jrdngrffth11]

hey man, nice job. i tried this set up and it worked pretty nice i only got 6 3 lb fish that day, they all hit the weighted fly or the hopper. but still amazing work thanks for the tips.

[michaelsw0rd]

3:58 nice big rainbow 4:11 nice little fish hahaah

[Hookinem]

Nice setup there. Thanks for the tips. Is that the East Carson?

[777Flyfishing]

You make some cool fly fishing videos Mikey! Keep it up!

[FlyFishization]

Killer ties, Mikey, and thank you. Some of us are more appreciative of a master jedi offering some free advice. Go look at MuddyButtCO's stuff if you want to learn how to tie on a rooster tail.

[NoX292]

perfect video ^^

[shadowbeliefisme]

I think what ever works for the Individual is Great I have a method using a torpedo bobber with 2 short leaders coming off a main 6lb line the leaders are 12 to 14 inches after being tied on and you can Flip your flies around to imitate a touch down of a fly so the trout strikes Ive had a lot of success fishing this way.

[muddybuddyCO]

shits weak bud... "Super" hopper dropper my ass...Bring it back to the basics, you're method, I guarentee you, does not catch more fish or bigger fish...

[lucasmorter]

brilliant!

[wallpaperkilla]

Hm....Two seperate baits on a line?? Thats not legal here in Indiana, at least with bait fishing. we use one bait, one hook.

[miertjie94]

@wallpaperkilla flyes arent bait dumbass

[safeandnontoxic019]

Nice fish!!!

[placervilledesign]

Thanks Mikey, will have to give that dropper set up a try tomorrow :)

[tfitch1205]

Great Job. I have used this method for years.

One Problem: Here in Utah where I live, only two flies are allowed on the line. Using a dry as an indicator, means that I can only use one nymph. I still occasionally use a foam indicator instead of the dry indicator so that I can use two nymphs.

[xiaemperor]

have you ever tried this method (mono loop system) on a Klinkhamer? 

[TheVokabKompany]

mikey weir, the main mufasa.....ur taking me fishing when i come to tahoe (aug 7 bud!!!)

burkey

[rcclimbhigher]

indcate this hopicator!!

[9010s]

Could you please tell me where this is?

[bonesyboy333]

Do you sell any of these hopper flies or any other dry fly patterns? I am very interested, so let me know.

[FFSDenny]

@bonesyboy333 These flies can be bought through fly fishing specialtiy shops that sell Idylwilde Flies.

[bonesyboy333]

@FFSDenny Great thanks for this. Can you please tell me the names or send me a link to one of these shops? Does Idylwide have any shops in Australia?

[redshaftedflicker]

thanks for the tutorial--very easy to understand and very informative--i'll have to tie up some hoppicators--your droppers look great as well--great info on how to fight larger fish!

[comedyshowtv1]

fly fishing is my fave sport

[MrTrouthunter]

Good Tips , Great Idea

[MrAceman111]

cool so cool really cool

[TonyDurst]

I have never had much success with multi-fly rigs. I do not respond well to my shit getting fucking tangled all together or losing 3 flies to a snag. Save yourself the time and headache by turning over a few rocks or just watch some glassy water to see whats coming off.

[louie948]

Appreciate the effort, but you made no sense whatsoever. I don't use the eye of the fly, and I did the loop to loop and put this through that- come on man- show this with a rope and large object or something. This video was impossible to follow.

[froads77]

those are some enormous trout! great job :)

[NiNj4k0S]

this guy speaks and looks like the x-singer from Alice in Chains :p

[Grayfisher1]

Nice! Check out the grayfisher1 for advanced casting

[Stevonater5]

What the hell is he talking about

[wannafish1]

very cool!

[wannafish1]

very cool!

[MrZMann1989]

Hey man post a vid on those flies you tied? I really want that jaw breaker and pupa.. consider it please?

[alright4u]

Learn knots.

Years ago I watched my dad dress silk lines the night before he went fly fishing. I became the official leader tier for my dad. Then my dad's fly tier. I had a ball. He bought all hooks, materials, etc. I wish I could still still go fishing with him. He died in 86 after three wars and cancer. Never in my life have I seen a man catch as many doubles as my dad did. An 80 year old man told me in 53-54- "you watch and learn from your dad. "

[shadehunter1]

Terrific, great video and I like your setup, slick.

[Kathy255585]

u no what ur doing but theres no dam fish like that in nj

[butcherscott]

i wish idaho was like that, fucking damn thats badass, so not only do you show your invention but you work it and obviously it succeeds with great results, hot damn buddy

[NavajobIood]

Why use 3 flies sounds like guys from PHX...

[6jay6man]

Where can I purchase the featured flies? Thanks.

[brandollarz]

tye them yourself its easy,

look up (davie mcphail) he shows you how to tye caddis pupa sedge pupa, nymphs, bugs, drys, hoppers

you name it he tyes it!

good luck

[derleineangler]

yep he is da man !

[teachrtec]

Nice :) Thank you.

[michaelsw0rd]

wait, lol i like it but what the hell? is there another eye on the back end?

[Bamboo4me]

I like this Mike. I would like a little info of the "loop" knot which you use to adjust the depth of your fly.

[mayuh1966]

yeah..very nice and i like to try this....thanks mike.

[meversmannpa]

can you make a video on how to tie the flies you are using? Great looking flies! Im curious on how to tie the hopper you are using, thanks

[katorade5]

I will need to try this Thanks

[Cherbert55]

Thanks for the great info. Would like to know more about tying the hoppicator.

[siiidesign]

Im proud to have you representing California. Keep em coming dude!

[TroutKarmaProject]

Nice Mikey- Thanks for your vids and all you do for conservation.

[andrewh4]

very nice I'd like to try this setup with any high buoyancy fly like a stimulator or a hair wing hopper pattern like a letort hopper or something.

[phelpsadventures]

Very Nice.

[michaelsw0rd]

You're my idol!

[TheBasicFisherman]

thats sweet, nice invention man

[tyonthefly]

cool tips... pretty country. where was this shot?

......check my saltwater fly fishing vids.......

[BassPro391]

wanna learn how to tie a new trout fly every week subscribe to BassPro391 and DandJFly

[seabm4]

You look like Timothy Treadwell

[boynabubble]

Nice instructional vid, but you've gotta know this isn't a new idea, integrating mono loops into hopper/dropper patterns has been used for years.

[DGAF2000]

yea but this is for sure the most efficient method i have seen

[foketesz]

super tip, man tx a lot! nice way to handle a fish, btw... Cool stufffffffffffff

[mattier3030]

Nice idea, i never heard of that before, although i always 2 fly it. Where are you, part of the country?

[LSPLIOUTDOORS]

What material is the hopper made of

[seismicrob2956]

why didnt u wrap the body around the hook instead of on top like u did

[Crittijr]

GREAT VID MAN,

[erkod]

those were big ass trout. that river must be really fun to fish.

[MANX61]

cool

[vaxxon1]

Great vid! Thanks for posting!

[umphishin]

Thanks for the info! Great video.

[jrivera37]

...nice work Mike and very responsible...practical...no nonsense and very fun...

[ravenfork]

Wow, nice video,great innovative ideas, and the biggy is bothering to mention to wet and cool your hands before touching fish.thousands of well intentioned individuals think just cuz a fish swims away its okay,..thats is false.If a 98 degree hand touches 40 degree fish,..the fish will often go into shock,even though it swims away it will go belly up after swimming away.thank you for spreading the word, you rock.

[troutloop]

Great video Mikey, very instructional

[humblefisherman]

Excellent video Mikey,one of the best instructionals around. Thanks for sharing this innovative and effective rig.

[redshaftedflicker]

Totally sikkkk! Love what you're doing with both the patterns and the technique.  Nice work w/ everything and thanks for sharing.

[humbldsrvnt]

that was an incredible instructional... thanx for sharing those gems. i use the hopper dropper combo but never thought to try it using an adjustable hopper... makes a lot of sense. i never thought to use a double dropper behind the hopper either. looks like i have to think outside of the box more!
