Tying a Double Barrel Foam Popper Fishing Fly

Nothing rhymes better with excitement than foam popper. While these flies can look intimidating to tie, several new materials simplify the process. We like to prepare and glue several heads and let them sit overnight. After the head is firmly secured, we finish the flies. Foam poppers are a bit like a Bob Ross painting in our opinion….while there’s a general “guide” to these flies, add whatever little happy feathers and legs that suit you.
