Great pattern. I tie quite a few of my terrestrials with foam. (I use a bit of super glue on my tread base to keep the foam from spinning on the shank.) Thanks for sharing Mr O'Neal.
Great looking but simple fly. Thanks for the tutorial and I love that you use Dave's Hughes' Essential Flies , my favorite fly tying guide. Have a great day!
Good morning Sir. Thank you for sharing another new pattern with us. Greatly appreciated. Pretty simple looking tie. But sure it will be more than effective. Change up the colors, fill a small box and head for the water. Congratulations to the winners, very nice gift you have provided. Have a great day my friend. Let’s remember to give thanks to all of the Mothers out there today.
Thank you Matt! Lots of Hoppers jumping around here..should work great! Catching good largemouth lately on small green or yellow poppers. I’ve been really busy working lately since knee is back in shape. Appreciate your channel friend. Happy Mother’s Day to your wife and moms in your family.💐 Best wishes! 👍👍🎣👌
Simple and effective fly. Tie it in black and you have a beetle; in olive,with a pearl crystal flash wing, a Japanese beetle. Tie it on a 3X long hook, a hopper. Thanks,Matt.
A little late to the show, but I think this would be a good imitation of our desert locusts. They're on the smaller side and the coloring is close. Definitely gonna tie a few and give them a go. Thanks Matt!
Nice and easy. It would be good at this size in black as a cricket in streams and ponds. I would definitely tie the foam in over thread wraps with a bit of dubbing and superglue though. Otherwise, I think the foam would start spinning around the hook after the first good hit, especially with only a few thread wraps holding the foam in place.
No kidding! I bought these five back in the fall and when I looked this week, they all seem to be out. Looks like there are some Lady Amherst out there though. 👍
I must have Thomas! I couldn't find anywhere else that has them in stock today. Hopefully there's not a shortage of these birds. The ringneck, the other cheap option, is all over the place. Lady Amhersts are out there, but they're a bit more expensive. Still pretty cool looking though. :-)
I managed to find a golden pheasant skin at The Classic Fly Fisherman, Robert Selb's shop in Lansdale, PA, last week. Also picked up a Lady Amherst skin as well. Got a good deal on both. Nice shop. Lots of classic rods and reels.

Nice tie Matt. And thanks for the golden pheasant.
Playing catch up, again. Nice bug. I was staring at my block of multi color foam the other day, too! Thank you for the timely fly!

Good morning Matt. ☕️Nice hopper and not a difficult tie either. Hope your weekend has gone well. Take care.

G’morning Matt. That’s a sunny buster if I ever seen one! Easy to tie and super effective, you can’t ask for more. C u next time.
That looks perfect for a hopper dropper rig for small streams. Gonna have to do a few for my box. Nice tie Matt!
That fly definitely has a nice buggy look to it! Bass would also love this fly, too. Tight lines, Matt! 😎🎣🎣
Good looking chugger
Definitely see this catching fish
Thanks for the video, Matt
I appreciate your reference to books and history on these simple and practical flies as always 😊

Another nice one Matt, that one is going on my list. have a blessed day my friend.
A change up of colours and a nice pattern for the upcoming cicada hatch!
Another simple but effective pattern...thanks again Matt.
Gidday Matt. Great job. Congrats to the winners of the skins, looking forward to seeing what gets created.

Nice easy and simple Good fly
Rarely use foam. But terrestrials sure seems to be a great time to use it. Thx Matt
Nice pattern, Matt . I'm wondering if it could work as a cicadas if tied in a larger size
Well done Matt☕️☕️
Neat fly
Since the Goldens seem sold out, I'm thinking of getting an Amherst skin with the same idea in mind.
No kidding! I bought these five back in the fall and when I looked this week, they all seem to be out. Looks like there are some Lady Amherst out there though. 👍
I think Matt bought up all of the Golden Pheasant skins from that sight.😂 They were sold out when I went looking for them. 😢

I just tied a bunch of "unsinkabeetles" on size 10....your chugger would work for a hopper. Cricket, beetle and other land bug.....will catch foe sure
LOL. On a win
Nice Chugger Matt. Thanks.
