Loop the leader per pic and tie a dropper fly and adjust the depth by sliding/locking thru the loops on the hopper.

Nice bugs. I have good luck with a small version of a Gartside Gurgler...bass and bream.

Cool. I used my Hoppicators a couple weeks ago in Arkansas and found that for the loop, using a softer mono is best. I was using 30lb zebco mono that I use for my carp and bass leaders for the stiff section, doesn't do that well for the loops on the hoppicator. It tended to slip down the line a little, and the front loop actually cracked. I found one I tied with a more limp 20lb test was better.
