It is known that grasshoppers are a favorite snack for trout when they are available and there are places and times where the amount is really huge, which unleashes in trout feeding frenzy that is truly a sight to behold, also triggering behavior highly selective towards these insects belonging to the order Orthoptera. As is usually treated insect good size is important to maintain an acceptable realism in imitations, something that often forces us to sacrifice some buoyancy, except models foam, with which it is difficult to get thin and stylized silhouettes, something frequent in these insects. Also in many cases it demands a complexity in construction for many is not accessible. In this model it is present a design in which it is possible to achieve high realism without being very complicated construction and providing extra buoyancy due to the air bubble is inside the chest.

The music is well selected, sounds like Eddie Higgins. The fly is serious. All is good.

[@HenryCarmonaTexasSlayer]

Ruben, can you link the brand clear tubing you use? I can't seem to find it.

[@markwestendorf3797]

I have been searching for the legs you use. I'm having trouble finding them. What are they and do you have a source for them. Thanks and a great hopper fly.

Thanks Buddy!

[@quentinritter6789]

Ive never seen anything that amazing

[@rubenmartinflies]

Thanks a lot buddy!

[@seanmooney3907]

You certainly are a creative tier. I would never have thought of half of the materials you use to tie this fly. I wonder if you had left the tube open on both ends if it would make a unique sound that would draw the fish to it? Not sure but I would love to know.Thanks so much for sharing your special talent with us. All the best and God bless you and your family. Sean

[@seanmooney3907]

Maybe, but under the water the fish will still eat a terrestrial if it is there. I just thought it would make great sound if it sunk. All the best. Sean

[@Aloistruebner]

simply WOW!!

[@rubenmartinflies]

Thanks my friend!

[@brucestellfox7888]

Impressive. But what is the name of materials for body ,legs,glue,and what are you drying the glue with. Less music and more audio instruction would really help.

[@rubenmartinflies]

Look at description section, thevrecipe is there, i speak spanish, thatvis why i dont speak on some of my videos. Best regards

[@juvenalelizondo2769]

I don't know where to get the leggy material you use for tying the grasshopper and dragoonfly lure. Can you please send me link where to get them. Love watching your visions. Just started tying my own flys. Thank you.

[@rubenmartinflies]

They are plastic broom bristles

[@josepedroza5025]

[@jackjones9611]

The videos would be much better if you gave instructions instead of playing Charlie Brown music! I unsubscribed...terribly annoying

[@rubenmartinflies]

Hi buddy, so sorry you unsubscribe, but unfurtunately i speak spanish, i am from Argentina, so that why i decided to not speak because a lot of people wouldnt understand what i am speaking. Best regards and i hope you change your mind
