Definitely made me feel like I was trying that fly myself... Great job

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@jonchristian7758]

I choose this fly for adding flies to my rerepertoire of flies. This will work for me as your instruction allows for many variables. That way when someone examines it and says I didn't tie it right, I'll just tell them it's my variation. 😁

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. That's what fly tying is all about!

Jack Gartside would have capital L LOVED Katie tying his fly. Excellent instruction and solid explanation of a varied pattern, used pink for silvers in AK, black and silver at night for big browns in Massachusetts and mini white and lateral scale gurglers for landlock salmon in Maine. Solid pattern.

Great video, thanks. I'm new to this. So why is that foam? To floating nicely on water?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Foam does make it float for sure.

[@3for5spotshooter]

yellow - Brown Trout - fall float up from the bottom. Egg pattern 18" behind on 5 ft of leader to a gurgler. Deadly. Or a yellow booby. Works for Splake as well.

[@jimaugenti704]

Nice video. Do you have any trouble with the marabou fouling the hook when fishing it?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Please send your questions directly to Katie at the shop and she’ll be happy help/answer.

[@HectorSuzy]

A question, is that thin piece of foam enough to keep the fly floating or is it the "lip" that pushes the fly upwards, lika reverse crankbaitlip or both? Great video!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Both. It floats due to the foam and the lip pushes it upwards. Thanks for watching.

[@John-ho2ks]

Question, I have been seeing a lot of these popper tying videos and some recommend fly tying foam over crafting foam. Is there really that much of a difference between the two? Thanks and great video.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Please contact the shop via phone or email and they will be happy to help. Thanks.

Please give a call or an email to the shop and they will be happy to help/answer.

Use any hook u like. It is a great fly for both salt and for sweet water.

Don't think there is but if so, would be on our channel in the Fly Tying Tutorials section.
