Consider color colors like Green and Yellow.
The body is roughly 25 – 30 fibers of Faux Bucktail. Using a bodkin spread Solarez Fly Tie Flex Formula on the body fibers and twist the fibers to so that the body is round. Apply the UV Light. Using a sharpie place bar markings along the tail/body, and apply another coat of UV Flex and cure with the UV Light.
Place the DB Popper Head and secure with Zap-A-Gap Medium CA+. Measure the body so that the length of 2 inches measured started from behind the popper.
Create a hole in the head between the back end of the popper and the eyes. Push a bobbin threader through the holes and pull a 3.25 inch section of para-post material for the wings.
