Panman, Tim - I got the inspiration from FAOL for the foam bodies:
(http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/082205fotw.php ) on using a dremel tool. The foam is regular craft foam (1/8 and 1/4 inch) glued up with Scotch 77 spray glue. I then use a brass tube drill bit to 'drill' out cyclinders. To turn the bodies I super glued the foam to a bolt head and put the bolt in my cordless drill. The drill acts like a lathe and the dremel is the cutting tool. Seemed to work pretty good considering all the work involved. Here is a picture of the setup:

PA Dave, Dave - the spoon fly pattern came from this Internet site and it has patterns for the hook and plastic. I thought this method was better than nails as I was after the Daredevil look.

And finally, quivira kid, We did do some fishing in our favorite smallmouth river. The fish didn't bite but there was lots of ice!
