I have been studying tube flies of late. This weekend I stubled into a tying demonstration by George "Chappie" Chapman in a local FF store. Chappie was tying large SW poppers. He makes them from scrath using wood, paint, machines, saws, fillers, thread and Mylar Tubing. I was amazed at his simple formula for a tying traditional wooden poppers.

Of course as soon as I got home I tried Chappie dressing on some store-bought popper bodies that I have had for years. They looked great.
