About this fly
a Wayne “Buz” Buszek fly using the recipe in The Founding Flies by Mike Valla Buszek originally tied this fly as a caddis, but fished it first during a grasshopper drop. So it became known as a hopper. Buszek used mule deer for the wing; the example is tied with SW Missouri white tail deer
What the Buszek Hopper imitates
