Geoff Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 So when i first started tieing....11-12 years ago, about the only major foam fly was a beetle, and two kinds of ants. Now everything is foam. Hmm...bummer. i recently have been getting back into my tieing habits and as much as i didnt want to make the change to foam, cause it used to be a pain to work with, i am giving it a shot. mostly because hopper patterns come out amazing in foam. i found this pattern, well picture of it, on Flickr and saved it, it looked good. tonight after hitting up the hobby store i came back with all sorts of foam, and this was the result. not to shabby for never really tieing with foam ever, and having not tie anything outside of marabou jigs and griffeths gnats for the past year or two haha.

Members LB DRY FLY Posted January 19, 2010 Members Posted January 19, 2010 What is the leg material? Looks like foam cylinders? Did you get that at the hobby store?
Geoff Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 Legs are just regular ole rubber legs tied in a knot. Foam is 3mm foam sheets fromt he craft store glued and cut to size/shape "When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all."

MaxDrown Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I've been tying up something similar called the "Club Sandwich" and another called the "Hopper Juan". -- Max Drown

Rolan Duffield Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 WOW. Great photographs, congratulations. Very sharp and on a clean neutral background that accents the flies. What type camera were you using? Rolan
