Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

the popper is something I had to try after watching stippled popper's topic earlier. the other one is a bunnyfly.

Nice job on both.

Placing a couple of spots along the line between the bottom and top colors like you did helps break the line. Adding a couple of dots in a different size can make for a nice touch too without adding much to how long it takes to paint which might make you hesitant to risk losing it to a fish or errant cast.

Hey Guys,

thanks, I wanted to give the popper painting a try, I found out it is as addictive as spinning deerhair

The fire tiger colors are always my favourite when fishing plugs, so hopefully this popper will do the job also.
And stippled, thanks for you earlier postings, they helped me a lot in getting into the popper painting, the acrylic paint workes great.
I have coated the surface with nail polish, epoxy crossed my mind, but I don't want to add to much weight for convenience in casting
