Doggone,
Iwent through this whole thread, never seeing a picture of the PIG (fly) or much about tying one! Would you please fill this dumb yankee in on the particulars? Son of a gun...I need to tie a couple of those.

Hey Snipe,
Here is the first "When Pigs Fly". It
was named by LadyFisher. [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/lighterside/part182.html:59fa9]http://www.flyanglersonline.com/lighterside/part182.html[/url:59fa9]
Chris, I think that would be a great
attention getter for the FAOL bunch.*G*
Also, if you can get down this way, there
is one in my front yard which should help
ya locate us.

I tried out my foam popper today and the bluegill's loved it. Jim, you're right, these flys weigh nothing and cast easily.
This method is the quickest popper making technique that I have used. I usually just buy poppers at Walmart rather than messing with making my own. But I'm going to have to make some more of these foam poppers. I took my first one out today to try it, and bluegill loved it. But, I found out that I didn't use the right hook. In the future, I need to leave a bigger gap than I did on this one. I used a #10 hook and I think a #8 would have worked better.
Anyway, I started this string because I thought the pig was funny, but now I've figured out that these poppers are easy to make and they work. I'll be making more of these.
Thanks,
Rex
