Foamulator Fly Tying

The Foamulator is a foam version of the classic stimulator pattern. The main difference in the Foamulator (compared to the classic stimi) is the foam back, rubber legs and Ice Dub body. The Foamulator can be tied in several different color combinations such as, Black, Olive, Red and Tan. In this video I am tying the Golden color. This color imitates a golden stonefly and also makes for a good general attractor pattern. This is a great hopper dropper pattern. The extra foam helps keep this fly riding high and very visible!!

I always found that tying in 5 or 8 differnt kinds of winging material was the best use of my time tying flies when the fish, looking up, won't really see any of that. FORM. FOLLOWS. FUNCTION.

cool art, but seems like so much extra/redundant stuff, especially above the water line

Do longer/thinner "noodles" of dubbing on the thread, then stop with a little dubbing left on the thread. Then add more to the thread so the dubbing is all one unit and you dont have to wrap over the dubbing back and forth multiple times
