Careful around here with such.  The fly/lure Natzis gonna jump on this.  I learned to keep such to myself.  The problem sharing with peeps on stuff like this in PMs in this joint is  you can’t load pics except hosting somewhere and post the url in PMs. PITA..... Right up my alley though.  Foam bodies?  I’d stick couple of glass rattles in those.  Some places can’t have double hooks on Salmon?  I took foam chains outa braid with wiggler head and made snakes.

 

 

 

The very first fly I ever tied did NOT require a fly hook, any pre-waxed thread, any fur, feathers, or synthetics!  (And, NO, it wasn't a gar rope!)  It was a little fly for BULLgill called a Flutter Minn.  In fact, if you look at this site in the swaps section you can see a picture of one I did for the Never Find It on MY Rod Swap (8/2020).  All I needed was some sheet aluminum, model paint and a gold Eagle Claw hook.  I found it in an early 1770's Feild and Stream!  Fly fishing and fly tying should be FUN, and to all who do it without loving it all I have to say is HUMBUG!
