Mike G Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 First, Happy New Year! Here's the pattern that inspired the Chaos Locust from the foam fly swap. This one looks like someone just put a foam fly on the hook the way you might put a grasshopper on. There is a nice story about its effectiveness along with how to tie it at: http://www.eflytyer.com/patterns/chaos.html "The first night that I fished this hopper, I caught 10-15 trout, and 4-5 really big smallmouth on my 3 weight. On another trip I went to a creek in a deep gorge and caught another 30 plus trout. On yet another trip I caught some more really big smallmouth. So while my Chaos Hoper is a bit different than Blue Ribbon's it is still pretty neat." Mike Hogue Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Rich, I agree, I might also take a long dry saddle hackle and palmer it tightly from the back to the front, taking care of the bare hook and adding a zillion legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
