Re: POP Flies (Tutorial)
Ray, those flies are gorgeous, and look like real fish getters to me. Thanks for showing 'em off.

Re: POP Flies (Tutorial / SBS)
Refreshing post, due to recent discussion of John Dunn's "Sunshine and the Dry Fly" and translucency of silk bodied flies. It the POP series of flies, I use a tinsel underbody, to help reflect light back thru the silk body of the fly.

Re: POP Flies (Tutorial / SBS)
Thanks for posting that SBS, Ray. I think I remember seeing the POP fly on FTF, and made a few copies for the local Brookies. Worked very well, if I remember correctly. Think I'll make a few more now.

Re: POP Flies (Tutorial / SBS)
A great description of how to tie what I consider to be the best "new" fly design that I know of.
Personally, I use Alec Jackson Japanese Silk on the body, but any pure silk flattened sufficiently will produce the same effect. These flies catch fish!

Ray, Howdy;
Back at the top of this page (3), you offered a link for showing the splitting of the marabou
( php?f=5&t=1576&start=0 ), unfortunately it now leads somewhere else. Some odd computer
related 'stuff'. Any chance you might have a link that will now get us to the pix ???
Thanks,
hank
