Do you love big bluegill?

Silicone hopper 2" long. Experiment from a piece of silicone from the wife's Orthotist. He had a small piece and gave it to me to try and this is what I came up with. It doesn't take paint or glue. I colored it with permanent magic marker and that's not working very well.

I think I'm a long way from the pro ranks but I think I might be closing in on the intermediate ranks. All I know is it's all fun.

Woahhhh..Dick, it's reaching a level of "UH OH..Dick got all the fishes". If that hopper can stand up to the tortures of the toothy creatures below, that hopper will annihilate the fish population. I can truly say you've reach pro-tying level.

Silicone adhesive sounds promising, as does Goo.

No I haven't David something to think about. Bod said to try silicone caulk or shoe goo. So hopefully out of them 3 things I can find something that will work. Thanks guys for the input.

It looks very buggy. Have you tried hot melt adhesive?

yea bob but it does not stick to the silicone

Dick did you try a drop of glue on the foam to hold them wings down ?

Comment by dick tabbert on June 10, 2013 at 2:24pm

No Carl I have some issues I have to get solved with it first. Thanks for the complement Carl.

dicky- that's a really good looking hopper buddy!! any luck with it yet?

For all the fly tiers I posted this a day or two ago and wondered if there was a way to lower the wing it's sticking up in the air to far although when it's wet it may lay down.
