Flyfishermanj -
With the overwelming response to this swap, I can easily back out. In fact, with the spring hatches starting so unusually early this year, I have quite a few other things that I really would like to get tying now.

![]() Woven cricket: Hook: Daiichi 1180 # 10 Thread: Black Under body: black 2mm foam cut in 2mm x 2mm strips Body: Dmc floss, black # 310,brown # 898 Done in a tiger weave Under wing: four strands purple floss Wing: black deer hair Head: pearl chenille, micro black Tie in floss behind eye, light on the far side, darker color on the near side. Tie down back to the bend of the hook, tie in the strip of foam about 3-4 mm behind the eye ( leaves room for the head ) tie it down to just before the bend of the hook, cut off. When you tie the strip down use enough thread pressure to secure it but not so much you completely crush it.Bring thread to the front of the hook, tie off thread and cut I don’t like to weave with it hanging gets in the way. Google “ Tiger weave” for instructions on how to, will be better than I can do. Weave body to the end of the foam strip you tied in. Reattach the thread and tie off. With your left hand pinch the floss on the hook have bodkin ready pinch the thread between your left finger and the hook reattach thread and tie down floss and cut excess off.( a little practice getting the thread back on the hook one handed doesn’t hurt before you’re actually holding on to what you’ve just weaved) Tie in chenille at the eye of hook move thread to the point your weave stopped, wrap chenille to that point and tie off. Tie in crystal hair at body/head ( thread should be there already ) junction, cut off at the bend of the hook. Tie in deer hair ( give a good pinch so it does not rotate on you) at body/head point tips stopping around the bend or a little longer. Whip finish trim head to your liking. ![]() Charlies baby hopper: Hook: Daiichi 1180 # 10 Thread: color to match body Under body: 2mm x 2mm strip of foam Body: 2 mm foam cut to the width of the hook gap ( or a tad smaller ) Legs: tarantu-legs Wing: natural deer hair Google Charlies hopper for lots of really good pics and very good tying instruction ( one thing the baby hopper only has two segments and no flash under the wing).

I have, I fished one with and one without floatant. The one not treated floated lower in the film but did float. Tried it in riffles, runs and pools. I lost the none treated one in the branches above screwing around slapping it down on the water to see if it would go under. A few dry casts and off it would go. Got both shoes soaked trying to get it back.
![]() Hey, thanks Delta.

They are good looking flys! I had to tye some woven mayflys for a swap on another board. I don't recommend that at all, but it was an odd swap and the rules made it so I had to do it that way. After playing around for a while I decided to wax the floss with tying wax and it helped a lot, but I still wouldn't recommend it. It got me wondering if it would be worthwhile pretreating the floss with floatant or Scotchgard. All that aside, I have heard that fish take sunken hoppers (naturals) quite a bit, so a hopper that looks realistic and is a less than perfect floater might be an interesting pattern.

Thanks FT with the talk of woven terrestrials I started thinking about it and figured what the hey. From what I saw it sits with the wing out of the water (untreated) and the body in the film, it had a sprawled out look.I saw this style of weaving and it looked perfect for what I was thinking, I liked the way the colors mixed to a point both up and down. When it's wet the body has a tone that's brown but not black and vise versa,I really like the way it looks. Hopefully so will the fish.
