Tomsu's Supreme Hopper - Complete Set

Inspired by the amazing work of Bob Mead, Bill Logan and Paul Whillock, this super-realistic fly can be tied in minutes! (Tying instructions are provided with each order.)

If there's a more realistic Hopper pattern designed to be fished out there than Tomsu's Supreme HopperTM, I haven't seen it.

Three years in development, the Supreme HopperTM pattern utilizes our existing hopper wing cutters along with our hopper leg cutters, plus two new cutters: one for the hopper body and one for the pronotum.

Cutters are available for tying Tomsu's Supreme Hopper™ in sizes 4 through 12, giving you a full range of hoppers sizes.

Wondering if Tomsu's Supreme Hopper™ will catch fish? This brown trout obviously mistook Harry Schoel's fly for the real thing!

Think this pattern is too hard to tie? Our new friend Clayton, age 9, just started tying. This is one of his first Tomsu's Supreme Hoppers™. Believe us, you can tie this pattern in about 10 minutes - no problem.

Wondering about which size set is right for you?

July - October Kathi can usually be found, plastic cup in hand, wandering around RRC's property terrorizing hoppers. Should you find yourself engaged in hopper wrangling, perhaps dimensions for each individual cutter will help.

For us, the season starts with Size 12 hoppers in both chatreuse to olive green, After Labor Day Sizes 4 and 6 are most common, and most hoppers seen are tan to dun in color. (The resident birds probably got all the bright green ones before they could make it to size 6 or 4.)

2022 - Many thanks to Timothy Thornhill for sharing his photo of the TSH (Tomsu's Supreme Hopper) that he tied.  Don't you just love the color of the barred legs on his fly? Very creative.  The detail that he added to his fly using an artist's pen is a great addition, too.
