hopper pattern for bass

[Vinny]

hey has anyone got some medium floating grass hopper patterns because they were thick a while back and bass were smashing them but i didn't have anything like them, (a good hopper pattern is supposed to work wonders on the toga up north and i was thinking of going after them later this year.)

a simple pattern

hook size 2 or 4 stinger, eg gamakatsu or mustad aberdeen.

head: small 1 cm square popper head, I make mine out of rubber thongs, araldited to hook, make sure it is flat underneath so fly floats level.
body: none
undertail: piece of red wool 2 cm long
Tail; synthetic gold craft fur, topped with a layer of yellow deer hair
legs: a couple of rubber legs from a spinnerbait skirt, tied back like the tail. (black and gold looks good)
so basically its a streamer behind a popper head.
my best morning was 17 fish on this fly.
