Getting all set for the 21st. Prepped some bodies to finish up on the 21st. A couple of before and after pictures.

Very nice Terry -- that's one type of fly I don't have any experience tying. I noticed your hook gap to popper body ratio looks good.

I usually buy booglebugs or Walt's poppers. I like both kinds and have caught a lot of fish on them, but I think in terms of straight durability I get more life out of the booglebugs. With the Walt's poppers I tend to get bodies breaking loose and rotating on the hook after a while. They're also a lot cheaper than booglebugs, so I think both are a good buy.

I had one popper from some "multi fly kit" that had the hook gap too close to the body and you couldn't hook fish with it!

Those look great, Terry! I like the way you do the legs - clever!
