“Mikey Weir shows how to use his super hopper dropper set up to fish for trout. Learn how to connect and use the Hop-icator as well as other signature flies …” The ideas are interesting: a sliding large fly that adjusts up and down the thicker part of the upper leader. The initial loop concept escapes my addled brain. But, the idea a big, bushy indicator fly (that can take fish too) supporting a smaller nymph/emerger is always a good reminder of an alternative to corkies, air resistant yarn rigs or the newer strike indicators that I normally use. I like Humpy’s for such a set up. I will have to watch this again to figure out this loop concept he is talking about. More Mikey at Burl

I believe that you can pass a loop of leader through the monofilament loop on the fly the same way you would with a standard indicator. It is definitely confusing the way he explains it tho. My friend and I are having a contest to see who can make one of these behemoths for a trip to Dunsmuir on the Upper Sacramento in October, We’ll be imitating a golden stone instead of a Hopper, tho hopper might work if it’s warm.

I also need a little more instruction on the initial loop.

Jim, I feel the same way…did not quite get that and was hoping those reading would understand what I did not. Jason, if you come back by….did you understand how to rig to get the slider affect?
