Guest Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Hey guys! Here are some pictures of a few poppers I tied this weekend. Check out the other postings for some close up pictures of these flies. I'm also including a picture of 3 flies tied by RedneckFisherman. Looks like he's off to a good start with his fly tying. I really liked the deer hair fly.

Guest Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Mark, my site URL is http://www.chesapeakefly.com I've tied Seaducers in just about every color imaginable, and they're still one of my favorite all around flies for bass & saltwater use. I'm also very familiar with Tom Nixon's flies, they're some that I tied & used many years ago. I started tying about 1966. Although I don't own a copy of Tom's book, I have some other books that list many of his patterns. I'll add that link as soon as I can! Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 9, 2003 great flies, Jim...I wish the camera I had took a better picture...cheap little digital job and the focus is horrible...might take a few hard copy photos and scan them in at some other time..... The last photo wa sof REdneck's work..these are his first flies, but you can already tell this kid has tying talent. The deerhair fly was well done for a first time tier. Redneck, Your flies were fine. All you need is just a little practice, but it is abundantly clear that you already have a great understanding of form and appearance. Don't be in a rush, the skill comes only with practice, but you obviously have what it takes to be a great tier someday!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 9, 2003 Here's a picture of a bass size popper tied using the preformed hard foam bodies, but the same can be done with cork or balsa. This is a size #2 body on a 1/0 hook. The head is painted & epoxy / glitter coated. The cupped face is painted bright red. Here's a picture of the Mustad Signature Series popper hook that I used on this popper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
