GFA Hopper - Foam Grasshopper Fly, Indicator Fly - McFly Angler Dry Fly Tying Sessions

This pattern is awesome for trout, sunfish, bass, and anything that will eat a grasshopper. It also can be tied in black to mimic a cricket really easily as well. Its a quick, very effective, foam indicator type fly. In fact, ive heard its named “GFI“ because its a “General Foam Indicator“. However I just realized the fly is not called GFI but GFA (for general foam attractor). Sorry everyone, we all make mistakes, and I had mistaken from a sorta telephone game of sorts. Anyway, it’s A simple, generic, foam type fly. I think I like this pattern better than a Chernobyl ant personally as it seems to get more wary fish to nibble, and is slightly easier to tie. These are awesome little patterns, that are so versatile. I have tied them very large, with a thicker foam, and very small as well. They also can be tied in so many different colors. So give it a try! As always I am adding a list of the materials below. Keep in mind I use Risen fly materials whenever I can.
