Here is a step by step to a simple little pattern that has accounted for a good few fish this season.

Firstly tie in the Hopper yellow at the eye and run it down to the middle of the bend in touching turns.
Now tie in the black thread over the bottom of the Hopper thread. Once the hopper thread is secured and wont un ravel snip off the hopper thread and bobbin.
Now bring the black thread up in open turns to form the rib.
