utyer 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Time for a few bait fish. They are tied with craft fur. They are 5" long, on a modified 1/0 hook. I think they should work for Bass and Pickerel and possibly even Speckled Sea Trout and Reds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Harold ... I think I like your popper, but I can't tell. The background overwhelms the fly and I can hardly tell where yours begins and the background ends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stippled Popper 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Harold ... I think I like your popper, but I can't tell. The background overwhelms the fly and I can hardly tell where yours begins and the background ends. I promise you would certainly like it if you saw it in person. The good doctor ties beautiful poppers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harold Ray 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 I took the picture the other day with my iphone and didn't really have anything else to lay the popper on at the time. I realized it was pretty busy, but that was it at the time. I'll be putting up some others later. Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 Necessity is the mother of invention they say. I'm out of black hen hackle, and a friend wants some Black & Green spiders for the lochs (I would use much less hackle on a river fly). Searching for something to use I looked at a pheasant skin and found these dark feathers with iridescent green on the barbs around the neck. I think they'll do. Hook: Wet fly size 12. Thread: Veevus 14/0 yellow. Body: Peacock tinsel (Uni, on the back of copper tinsel) Coated with Diamond Fine UV resin. Hackle: Iridescent green black from the neck of a melanistic pheasant. The bead head is 3mm and covered with hen pheasant wing covert. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
