Distancing myself from the public in the hobby room, tying flies in anticipation of good weather coming.
I needed to replace the frogs that Mike S. gave me a few months ago.

- Half dozen frogs
Then again Scott F. convinced me to try tying some DB poppers.

- Half dozen double barrel poppers

Now is a good time to build that rod you’ve been thinking about for the past year. Sent from my iPhone

I was forced to give up rod making a few years ago when I join the OFC.
For eyes on D.B. poppers, I use tulip fabic paint. Won’t come off and you can make as large or small as you want.
It doesn’t run either. So I apply both eyes at the same time. Although if you make huge buggy eyes, you might want to 1 at a time. Face up and let dry for 20 minutes before flipping to other eye.
I like that idea! Next batch.
what size were these? what hook did you use?
For the DB poppers I used kinks shanked size 2, and the body to match. The DB heads come in a lot of sizes, and colors.
