I want to learn how to tie up some sneaky pete flies, but I do not know how. I have a couple premade popper bodies that I can just glue on reverse so the thin part of the body is the nose? Also, what do you use for the tail right after the head? Help me I am lost I only know how to tie wolley buggers and a couple other smallmouth flies??
Thats how I make mine and it works just as well.
Hmmm, imagine the possibilities with this gadget.
Analizing our differences not only leads to enlightenment, but also to new and interesting ideas that you yourself may never have thought of.
The URL below will give you the “Step by Step” instructions (with photographs of each step), for tying the “Sneaky Pete”!

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
“Swim” said the mama fishie, “Swim if you can”
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

The sneaky pete is a great fly. I used it all the time until I started using soft foam. Now, for bass and panfish, I use the “Gurgle-Pop Popper”. I have the recipe on my Web site and it is also found in the “Fly of the Week” section on this Web site. The link to my site is:
