Oh, thanks for that vid!
I typically fish GFA Foam Hoppers in size 14 for Bluegills. This might be another pattern that can be very useful for such a small size.

I've tied a bunch of these, in the original colors as well as color schemes that match the naturals for my part of Michigan as well as where I'm from in Oklahoma (sent those to a friend). I have yet...
Check around some fly shops and/or online. I've got a pack of dyed fluorescent blue guinea feathers.
Uh oh. You've done crossed over to the Dark Side now, if you're watching Uncle Cheech's videos :)
Are you on his group on FB?
My fly boxes are full enough for me to go harass the Bluegill. I don't loose that many flies. My job has picked up, so work takes most of my day right now. As a result, I haven' tied a fly in a...
Oh, that's a good idea! I have a few as well! Thanks!
Please excuse my lack of a photo studio.
Tied some up. I substituted some Black Bear for the Possum. That Black Bear hair is some coarse, wiry stuff! Less is definitely more! Also, size...
Scott;
I don't have any of the possum dyed black, but I just recently acquired a large stash of Black Bear hair from a taxidermist. Would the bear hair work as a substitute?
I've tied some Mosquito soft hackles using the 1 Light 1 Dark Moose mane body. Never could get them to last more than a couple fish. Can't remember if I ever tried brushing some SHHAN over the...
Nice!
I'm wondering if that would work for Steelhead?
I bought some Bleached PT feathers a few weeks ago. I think I tied some regular PT nymphs with it. Didn't use the scud hook, though. Might have to do some more.
That looks good!
Do you put anything over the Moose Mane to prevent breakage? I've tied up several "Drowned Mosquito" soft hackles, that started with white and dark Moose mane, but I'd only catch a few fish with...
That is sweet! I may have to do some for myself. I have everything for it!
Nice video, Walt.
I have a technical question about your video. What video format is it? When I watched it, I had some issues with not all of the colors rendering out correctly, and a big green...
Hey, I'm not the only one that steams a deer hair fly before trimming! Nice job!
Really nice-looking flies! I agree, put them in a shadow box!
Rick, time to stock up on Hanak 400 or similar (60 degree jig hooks), and start tying up some Perdigons, Red Darts, Frenchies, etc. Use really large beads, and some lead wire underwraps (or...
Another satisfied customer of Wholesale Fly Company. I've bought A LOT of their hooks over the past couple of years. Just ordered a couple packs this week; they aren't even charging for Shipping...
That was a great Vid. And, a very affectionate and well-behaved cat. The cats I used to live with would have been all over the feathers, and probably the bobbin as well.
Ralph, I hope you don't mind. I had an idea last week to tie some up, but change up the colors. I was shooting for a white version. White marabou instead of tan, Pearl Magnum Flashabou instead of...
I've bought some of the same hooks, to tie up some Steelhead Candy. Had the same issue, couldn't get my beads around the bend. I think I ended up going to a different hook; I'll have to check. I...

Tied up an articulated version today.
I think I'm going to have to get a copy of that book. Thank you!
I did get to fish one of these a couple days ago. Went to a small stream about 20 minutes from home. This stream is fairly shallow; most places are only knee-deep. I did manage to find a...
