This blog will take off where the book "Unsinkable Dry Flies" left off, listing new and different ways to tie flies by attaching a air bubble to the hook. The flies displayed may be imitations of flies found in other reference materials or something completely unique. If you have a new idea email us, we will endeavor to post it on the Blog with your credit.

Double Dipper Strike Indicator Fly




The Double Dipper Strike Indicator Fly is a large highly visible and very buoyant fly.  Because it is so buoyant one can run one or two smaller dropper flies off it at one time.  I call it a Double Dipper because it has two of each type of material except for legs in which it has four sets of two, two on each side of the body. 


-        Hook 6x long any brand with a light of wire as possible
-        Body one 2 to 1-1/2 inch of 3/16 heat shrink and 2 sections of foam of the same length.
-        Thread metallic purple
-        Legs black and white speckled rubber
-        Post white polypropylene
-        Wings white or luminess web wing or similar and white saddle feather 

The heat shrink needs to be colored purple and is divided into two bubbles.  The foam can be a variety of colors although I prefer black and beige.
