Great pictures and it looks like you had a lot of fun! A link to a step-by-step tying instructions for that frog pattern would be nice.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
glad you like them...thats the biggest tarpon for me on my 6wt so far...the frogs and hybrid frog poppers were designed to get tarpon however my experiment was a little off form...everything else like them but I lost faith once the bigger tarpon showed...still working on that...the frogs are made without using a vice or thread...I call them the Miami Viceless Frog...the problem is I either need to glue it better or use thread on the hook to secure the pattern...a bass stripped the frog off the hook a couple times...the tarpon was caught on a Whisperering Bamboozler, my latest tarpon go to fly
Very similar...

It's a shame that we can't get tarpon stocked in Percy Priest Resevoir...

thats a great link Normand...much more work than what I put into them but very simular design on the legs, practically identical...those are very cool looking and there are some killer bass bug poppers out there...I used the leftover materials I found while cleaning my nasty tying table...I am trying to become better at bass fishing while the flats heal so I am fishing lots of freshwater...I am still determined to get a tarpon on one and the wind looks good enough tomorrow...lost 3 in the last 2 days...those frogs have the same colors that I use for the freshwater tarpon...mine are not worthy of tying info compared to those in the link...actually I dont use a vice or thread so they are not tied but assembled using basically scissors and glue
