EdB Posted September 1, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would asume that with the foam one you don't want to. 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.

Lundvike Posted September 1, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
