The Foam Butt Indicator is a blend of the best of several worlds. It serves as an excellent high-floating indicator due to the combination of foam, heavy hackle and the New Zealand wool. The mix floats well, casts well, is durable and will occasionally bring fish to the top.

Foam Butt Indicator Recipe

Hook: #10 Caddis Emerger
Thread: 6/0 Black/Brown
Tail & Body: Thin Fly Foam
Hackle: Grizzly #12

Allen, I tie them on a #10 Caddis Emerger. That seems to work the best for the majority of my fishing.
