This site has several good hopper styles.

Take a Clarks Stonefly, add some red feather fibres as a short tail and you have a pretty good hopper pattern for everything but super flat water spring creeks. Good Metolius summertime pattern.

That crazy chernobyl pattern is tougher to tie but over a weekend I really ran up the score using it on Donner-und-Blitzen redbands .

Tie in a rectangular piece of yellow foam to a hook sew in some rubber legs, take a dark green marker to the top and a light green to the sides, and paint some black eyes on it.

Here is one I tie up however there are a few more steps involved that you can skimp on to make it easier...

Those Chernobyl Ants are great. The ones I use have brown hackle under the first layer of foam though. I still have one from last fall on the Klamath that is torn up pretty well.
