Good to be back from a fun time in Davenport. A lot of us got to tie along with Ernie this weekend. Thanks Ernie for taking the time and having the patience for us. This Popper developed by Curt Nordrum and got to where it is with Ernie's help. Ernie lets us put this on the blog so others can enjoy. Take some time this week to try ting this and bring in and share your results

Recipe

Hook = 33903 size 2

Thread = color to match Flymaster + or equivalent (to small of thread will cut foam)

Under Flash = 3 strands of Flashabou (folded over to make 6 strands)

Tail = Craft Fur (tie in, in two clumps)

Middle Flash = 3 strands of Krystal Flash (folded over to make 6 strands in in between craft fur clumps)

Next week lets play with some Chernobyl Ants. I will bring enough materials for anyone who wants to tie. Bring some black thread (6/0 or 3/0 or Flymaster +)
