Start red Veevus 6/0 on a Tiemco 5212 and lay down a quick thread base.
Stamp a medium body from the pink 2mm thin foam, push it against the shank to centre it and punch the hook straight through the foam. That hole becomes the butt end of the underbody.
Take a loose wrap over the foam and gradually tighten it down to seat the foam on the hook.
Advance the thread far enough forward to make three evenly spaced segments. Capture the foam, tighten gradually, pull the foam back out of the way and move forward again, taking the last segment right up near the eye.
Stamp a slightly larger tapered piece of tan 2mm thin foam for the overbody, a touch longer than the underbody. Mark with your fingernail where the eye falls, then taper the back end so it ties in cleanly.
Bind the tan foam in at the head with the taper facing back, leaving plenty of room in front of the eye, then jump the thread back to the first segment and trim the leftover foam.
Cut a generous clump of natural deer hair or elk hair, pull the underfur out and even the tips in a stacker. Measure on the shank, pre-trim the butts, and bind the bundle in as a down wing in one shot. Trim any stubble on the far side as flush as you can.
Brush Zap-A-Gap on top of the foam and down into the deer hair, then roll the tan foam forward over the top to build the hopper head.
Centre a thin strip of orange 2mm thin foam on top as the hot spot so the fly is visible on the water.
Tie a pair of medium yellow grizzly barred rubber legs on each side, manipulating them until they sit where you want, and whip finish right over the leg wraps.
Drop glue on the leg wraps and on the red thread at the eye for durability, then trim the front legs about a quarter inch longer than the head and the rear legs so they just overhang the wing.
