Its funny, in all my 60 some years fishing I have never seen hopper on the water, I am sure some do fall in and get eaten but "hopper" season does coincide with Stonefly hatches. I do think that the key is a yellow or tan body and some legs. This one has been great along the edges, I do like deer hair and a bullet head. You could certainly add hopper legs to it but i never found the need. Hope this helps
