Outstanding job! I’ve been looking for a video to demo how to tie that popper as I got some as a gift. This is incredible. Thanks for producing this!

0:45 you say "...4 brown beads..." yet there's three. ??! haha

This is so good! Love DIY stuff. And no one should be using soft plastics. They poison and pollute the waters, millions of pounds a year, wastefully killing fish. Things like this can be made to not break off and last way longer and are way cheaper than plastic garbage.

Can you teach us trumpet?

This might be a stupid question but I need to ask. Are you using this yellow green color because that’s what the young nymph looks like in color before it turns a light blue? I fish a lake that has a ton of damsel flies and since I might be there before the big hatch, I was interested in a nymph pattern. I usually use chubby Chernobyl with a black foam body and purple accents or beefy segmented light blue damsel/dragonfly patterns as a top water fly and these Westlopes nail them like crazy. So should I use this yellow color of marabou or use a light blue marabou?

Hi @fishoutwest-tgdd just shoot me an email. You can purchase it through me. Available in a number of sizes. Happy to get you set up. Thanks!!

DUDEEE where in the world can I buy that body material i have looked everywhere

Simple and to the point!! Tight lines🕷️🐛🐜!!!!!

Great looking fly. I think I " have to " copy/paste for my big a** brown trout trip this summer.

This is a good fly; thank you.

Man I've always wanted to be able to do this

Wouldn't some dumbbell eyes be a good addition?

Nice job ! Simple and effective. Thanks for sharing.

What does the wing represent?

Do you find the tail wrapping around the bend of the hook much?

Great looking fly! From what I can gather, the medallion sheeting is no longer available. Any suggestions for a substitute? Thanks! 🎣

That's a very nice popper! Well done!

This fly works perfectly in Patagonia 💎

With bucktail close to $15 a tail, tying these suckers would add up

Awesome worm! I really like this…….Thank you!!! 👍🎣

You Rock! Your tying is easy to follow and good explanations. How does it fish?

Nice tie! Sometimes simple is best. When I watch tying videos on TH-cam it's easy to tell the flies that are tied for the fish vs. the flies that are tied for the fisherman.

Same home town

Really like the addition of the claws over the original pattern.. I've been tying them on mine for about 6 months...they really fish well. Great job on the design of this craw!!!!

Hi Chris! I was always afraid to tie a Craw because they were always so complicated and used exotic materials. But this looks easy enough even for me. haha. Thanks so much. I remember watching crows catch crawfish up at Dowdy, land on a rock and immediately pick off the claws. I kinda felt sorry for them after that. LOL.

Cool 😎

Great video man!

how did you maintain the coil of clear body? did you bye it that way.

Thanks for this video. I particularly enjoy your reference to your Grandad and using this simple pattern. I have seen a couple presentations on the marabou damsel but most don't use this nice long straight eyed hook. I like not having it too complicated with eyes etc as I am lazy and like you infer believe the fish don't care much (we hope). I really like this simple pattern and your presentation. I will be tying up a dozen or so soon as I have a chance in a week to use them on some bruisers. Thanks again

Great flie thanks for share I can't wait to star to make mine.

Gorgeous damsel fly man really enjoyed that tutorial keep up the great work

Someone needs to make an articulating popper ,I lost mine to a rather huge stripe bass

I was noticing your vise. Is that a Regal Medallion?

nice one! good job!

Thank you I learned a lot

Hi Chris dad

This is very clever, Chris.

Love it, can you provide the ingredient list please? This looks like a great small mouth flu

Looks Good👍☺

Nice One👏👍

thats was a well executed video!

Beautiful fly, Chris. There are plenty of bass to catch here on a big ole fly like that. haha.

Nice job!

Great tutorial, nicely done

Awesome looking fly. My order of materials, vise, and tools comes in tmrw so i can start tying flies. I ordered these popper heads in green and white. Def will be making some of these pattern
