Default High Heeled Hoppers
Here's a few hoppers I've been tying up recently. Not my invention at all, the dressing comes from Sunray and was published in one of the mags some time ago. The dressing calls for golden pheasant for the legs which I think looks better than 'normal' pheasant.

and a 'moody' muddler which I did a while ago whilst everyone was 'doing' Peter Ross variants.

Any comments greatfully received, Cheers - Steve
