May Flies from the Vise

[TheCream 0]

Thanks Cream,

​I love your flie creations!

That jointed pattern inspired me to gather up the stuff I had hanging around my bench and create this pattern I hope to present to the Northern Pike in the next week or two.

This is on a 2 1/2" shaft tied to a 5/0 Gama... worm hook.

I also fish weedy water, so I chose a mono loop weed guard to sit on top of the hook shank, to also support the rabbit strip tailing.

A first for me and I'm curious what results may come when fished.

 

I like it!

I did a SBS on this pattern for my blog, here's the link for anyone that's interested:

Just an update, the fly fished and tested well. Cold, windy, nasty day to field test on Saturday, but the fly caught 2 bass. The concerns for me were snag resistance, fouling, and hooking fish with this hook style/material flowing over the hook. Aced every test.

Classic Big Ass Popper

Will need a 8-10 wt to toss

Made from foam "Marshmellows" from Michael's

Nice Mike.

I've recently been tying with those marshmallows, they float real good. Can you post a picture looking from front to back so I can see the profile?

Yeah sure just give me a little while to get it done..I have to post & take pics with my phone and my internet service sucks here!

 

Great looking cork popper too, you do top shelf work!

 

I am really interested in the marshmallow foam head that you did and the final shape.

I bought some from Amazon and thought they were tuff to shape.

How did you shape yours?

Send me a link to what you bought on Ebay so I'm sure we are talking about the same thing.

They are very easy to shape with a drill or Dremel tool with some 120-800 grit sandpaper or Emery boards

 

The hardest part is getting rid of the "Fuzzies" on the foam for a clean paint job.

And Thank you for the compliment.

That probably won't work, Powershooter. Send a couple my way and I'll prove it to you.

I ordered these from Amazon @ $1.54.

Darice Foam Marshmallow Shape 15mmx18mm 50/Pkg.

So do you spin them with the drill then touch

Them to sandpaper to remove material?

I asked you for the Ebay link so I can see them

I buy mine at Michael's for like $2 for 10 or something if you are getting the same thing for 50 for a $1.50 please show me

Thx flytier

Yep those are them

I just run a needle through the center then put a dab of CA glue on like a 1/16" drill bit and sand them down on a Dremel tool with sandpaper

Heck of a deal too
