Here's a question for you, Leland-- You mentioned a while back that some folks have tried your beach popper tied on a tube. I'm getting ready to try just that-- is there a reason not to do so? It seems like it would be a quicker way to get around the snelling process plus you wouldn't be wasting a hook-- I'm going to tie some up tonight or tomorrow for a Saturday trip for SRC and thought I would check with the master first....
I am having a tough time finding Edgewater Dink component. The companies web site is no longer there so I am thinking that they are gone. If so what popper bodies that are still on the shelves may be the last. Is there an alternative foam that anyone is using? Is there a supply of Edgewater bodies in Bellingham or Vancouver that I have not found.
Leland the fly on pugetsoundflyfishing is a lot fuller than the one shown here. It also has an olive overbody with peacock herl. Is one an evolved version of the other or do you use them for different conditions.
I try to tie the body of my popper to be proportional to the head. I don't want to have a fat head and skinny body. Also, I top the white with olive and then peacock herl.
Anyone have success with this fly or any other surface flies for Pink salmon. I am tying a few all pink versions.
