Foam Head Hoppers

Foam head made with two over-lapping foam discs. 


Hook: 6-10 streamer or 3x dry
Thread: rusty brown 8/0
Head: green craft foam
Body: olive hare's ear dubbed thick and buggy
Under-wing: elk hair
Legs: 4 pheasant tail fibers knotted to make the leg joint
Over-wing: turkey quill lacquered with Tough as Nails
Whip finish behind foam head

More traditional foam head created by tying the foam to the shank and folding it back on itself. This go around I left the butts of the pheasant tail exposed to mimic some forelegs.
