  1. With me being new to fly tying, I went with what I'm familiar with. I purchased a small amount of Daiichi hooks and some from Mustad when they had their 30% off President's Day sale. I purchased some hooks for poppers and for some clouser minnows.
  2. Thank you all for the comments. What I think I need to work on....if you look at it from the front, I need to work the popper head on so it is centered better. The tail feathers are too long, unless I want to try an articulated popper.....nope, not yet! I also need to learn a how to whip finish. I used 6 or 7 half hitches on this one and super glued them. I need to make where the tails butt up to the back of the popper head look better. Just takes practice! Philly.... Does the UV coating make it more difficult to put the popper on the hook? And, after you are done tying, do you seal where the hook punctured through the popper head?
  3. Hello all. So, here it is. My first fly ever! So full of mistakes, but I love it! I got so excited about tying last night, I forgot to brush the resin onto the head. Hence, it will remain on display on my desk. Be kind. I take criticism well, as long as it is criticism.
