This is my version of the Killowaker which I found in my The Fly Shop catalog. I just added legs.

I used a B200 size 10 hook from Allen Fly Fishing. In the fall, I do well landing smallmouth bass on custom tied foam hoppers. I'm always eager to try out new foam patterns. Last weekend, I threw poppers and hoppers but only the bluegills wanted those flies. In about a month or so, I'll be toting a box full of foamies. I like to cast into riffles above pools. I also will drift them at the tail outs and occasionally, I'll drift into the pools.
Nice looking fly...I've been hearing that the trout are starting to get on a hopper bite on the local tailwaters so the smallies shouldn't be too far away either. I'm hoping to give it a shot this weekend and see if they'll still chase a big ole streamer!
