Fly of the week

Benjo- The pattern seems easy enough and I like using foam! Have you tied up a hopper variation using this technique? What color foam do you typically use? I was thinking white foam and using markers to add color and/or segmentation.

Paul, I do tie hoppers with brown Rainey’s foam and they work. To make your foam mottled: get some large grit sandpaper and cover it in paint. Then gently push the foam onto the sandpaper and the higher spots will transfer the color.

Benjo,

Kudos on the fly. Looks good and fishy. I gotta tie me some of those.
