Almost finished hopper
This hopper is almost done.
The next step, after gluing the thread channel
formed around the TEFLON tubing, is to remove
the tubing. Then a small visually insignificant
glue and tread-wrap channel is left on the underside
of the fly. The tippet threads through that channel
and then attaches to the hook. Why do this?
Why bother? ........
