famill00 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 It is getting closer to popper time! Let's have 10 people join in and tie up your favorite popper. Everyone tie up 10 flies. You will not get one of your own back since there are 11 people including myself. All skill levels welcomed. I hope to get a variety of sizes and materials, from bluegill to bucketmouths, and cork to deer jhair. When you say "I'm in" please list the popper material (cork, deer hair, foam, etc) and the size you intend to tie. Once all the flies are in, I will photo each one. We will then all vote on our favorite popper, and that person will get some extra flies from me! Also, if, and only if, everyone has their flies to me in time, I will tie up an extra of my favorite bluegill flies for each of you! Hint Hint: I want this swap to go smoothly, meaning no drop outs and flies in on time Due date for this is June 20th. WE ARE FULL! When finished, send flies to: Forrest Miller 3865 Gabrielle Lane APT 521 Aurora IL 60504 Also, if you would, please reply in the thread and let me know what date you shipped your flies.

fshrmanms 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 i'm in with something made of tupelo gum wood, bream - bass (size 6 or 8 mustad 33903) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluegill576 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2012 I'm in. I will be able to get the flies in on time, but you may want to move the date a little later because poppers can take a long time with many steps. I'll be doing #8 stippled frog colored foam poppers.

gpd4 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 Too many popper artists to pass this one up. I'm in, but since I recently moved, I'm going to have to go with hard foam rather than balsa. Let's call it bass or aggressive bluegill sized... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
