Kaufmann Foamulator (variation)

Made a few modifications to Charlie Craven’s [b]version[/b], mainly in the underwing. Great thing about this fly is, with all the foam for buoyancy, you don’t need to use your best hackle (the grizzly was a webby saddle which, while not adding much to floatation, looks pretty buggy).
