EdB Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 When you are using a hopper do you need to put floatant on it or should you. I would asume that with the foam one you don't want to. Not sure. Ed Quote

Not sure. Ed I never bother with a foam hopper. floats nice and with deer or elk hair on the wing it will be good for a long time. Often when I'm walking to the next pool I drop it in some dryer salts. I also tend to change flies quite often especially when they do get a bit waterlogged. Quote
Lundvike Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Those foam hoppers that I tied a few weeks back floated really well without any floatant. Except when I oversized the dropper. And SD is right change them occasionally cause they will get water logged but they dry fast even on the patch of your vest. Quote
