Killowaker - #throwdahoppa



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.

  1. 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!
