My 1st Stippled Popper

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

First of all, i would like to thank Stippled Popper for all his kindness. I hope you like my 1st try Stippled. I have to admit you must have a steady hand to apply the dots. I also admit i got lazy and should have sanded the popper first and filled the slot with something and sanded it. Thanks again Stippled for the unique style in which these are made. Hope you enjoy!

Very Nice.

Except for the eyes which I almost always want to be round, I worry more about the spacing
of the dots than making them perfectly round. IMHO it tends to make them look too mechanical.
So you are off to an excellent start.

Looks like just a little more practice and you'll be able to help Stippled with some of his orders!

very nice for your first try.

I am a big fan of the Stippled Poppers. I especially like the Rio Grand version.
