WWKimba 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2022 Well, I've waited long enough! Here are some Bivisibles - with a name like that they just HAD to be in my 2X2 collection! Bivisible - First tied by Edward Ringwood Hewitt in the early 1920's. Hook - dry, 2-3 XL; 14-20 Thread - black Body - 3 parts brown then 1 part white dry fly hackle Bivisible Moose - Yes, this technically has 3 materials, but I wanted to show that any of the Bivisible variations can be tied with an optional tail. For those 2X2 purists out there, get your mop chenille out and I'll submit to my 50 lashes! Hook - standard dry, 12 Thread - brown Tail - 7-10 moose body hairs Body - 3 parts brown then 1 part grizzly dry fly hackle Please feel free to tie your Bivisibles in any color combo you wish. Tomorrow I'll show a POOR example of a 3-part "Bivisible". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBPatt 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2022 Campbell’s Foam Hopper A blast from the past. These killed it for me on Soda Butte Creek back in the day (early 2000’s) when you could find space to stretch out and have some fun; those days are few and far between but the fly still works. They float, they’re visible and simple enough to tie that you won’t be afraid to cast them into the tightest spots where the trout live, and won’t risk drowning to retrieve one if it gets hung up. Here’s his SBS if you’re interested http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/intermediate/part42.php Change color/size to meet your needs. hook - Dai Riki 730 #6 thread - Uni 6/0 tan butt/shellback/head - 2mm foam tan rib - tying thread (doubled) body - dubbing tan wing - deer hair legs - medium rubber brown indicator - 1mm foam orange Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SBPatt 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2022 Campbell’s Foam Hopper (variation) I prefer the full foam head; floats a little better and splats a lot more. On anything smaller, I’d use 1mm foam for it. hook - Dai Riki 730 #6 thread - Uni 6/0 tan butt/shellback/head - 2mm foam tan rib - tying thread (doubled) body - dubbing tan wing - deer hair legs - medium rubber brown indicator - 1mm foam orange Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On anything smaller, I’d use 1mm foam for it. Scott, Nice, I like this hopper. I tried the link for the SBS but was unsuccessful. Please, is there a foam base along the entire hook length and then dubbing placed over the foam or is the thorax dubbed and the foam tied in toward the end of the hook? How is that full foam head created? Looks interesting for sure? Is that an separate piece tied in over the hook eye? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here’s the steps used on a Foamhead Carnage Hopper Sequence is the same. Cut another strip of foam (gap width; tie in on underside) Poke a hole for the hook eye Move thread to eye Pull foam forward on underside; pull over eye, tie in at eye Take a few wraps at eye (protects foam from splitting) Cross thread over head, pull foam back, tie in Tie in legs Add indicator Whip finish, SHHAN; trim legs, trim foam (topside and underside Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
