DonnieM Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Had a few hours last night after work and decided to hit the lower bow. Drove down to the last bridge there before Dunbow and walked south for about 20 minutes past the big riffle there and slowly stalked my way up the bank hittin every seam I could find using a big hopper pattern. God I love it. Two monster browns, one 22 the other 24 and both of them just fat man, like big fat toads. I love it, huge strikes both times and lots of jumps, that kind of stuff just makes the season. I really miss when those hoppers dissapear!

dekkard2019 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Good on ya! Those browns don't fool around when they want something. I agree...hopper season is a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Good on ya! Those browns don't fool around when they want something. I agree...hopper season is a good time. Agreed nothing like hoppers. I'll be putting in the 9 hour float tomorow and plan to hit them hard. I haven't fished for nearly three weeks. I can hardly wait. I think I've just started to salivate!

dude1125 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I love that hopper sound you hear on hot summer day and on a not so hot day along a sun soaked steep bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agbff Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 With the cooler weather are fishing hoppers still working those fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I was fishing hoppers yesterday without a ton of action, although it definely improved in the afternoon. My nymph dropper was where the majority of action was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
