fshng2 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 Fished the dragon yesterday until dark when it was hung up in a tree. I’ll go back today and get it. It floats better than I expected, throws a decent spray ,and dives slightly when stripped. All in all I like the action and will probably make more. Cream I like the walk the dog on your fly. Any tips on doing this in foam or balsa? Mike nice flies. I like the flip flop kind too as they are quick to tie, don’t cost much, and are durable.

fshng2 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 Flytire, nice selection of poppers, pencil poppers and I'm guessing a slider. This gives me some good ideas for color schemes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows maybe it's a category that can be added to the "Species/Tying Style Specific Forums" section. X2 Denduke is always welcome here, his skills are top shelf.

Philly 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 I had to look for sliders apparently I don't have as many as I thought. This is my popper box from my last trip to Canada back in 2017. Pretty much what I still use most of the time. A close up of my favorite popper. I catch a lot of fish on these. and some sliders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
