Foam Body Stimulator Blog-Post & Recipe: blog.avidmax.com/2020/02/18/h...
In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady ties the Foam Body Stimulator!
Are you tired of having to cure your traditional Stimulator to keep it floating high and dry? Weather you use Shimazaki dry shake, Dry Magic, Aquel or Amadou to do so, it takes away from keeping your fly on the water. Foam Bodied Stimulator to the rescue!
This pattern is one of the most buoyant that I fish. With a foam body, sold dry fly hackle and the typical elk hair wing it floats drift after drift without having to re-cure every third cast. Don't fear it fishes just as solid as a dubbed body stimulator. This is a great pattern fished by itself but really shines as a hopper dropper rig.

I like how you incorporate the foam helps it float better. Also the sparkle yarn great too. Thanks for sharing this great pattern I'd love to give it a try. tight lines

Very nice fly ! Thanks

Thanks 👍

Great vid!!!!!! One question, would this be able to handle heavy nymphs, hanging under it? Even tungsten bead? As a DUO ( dry indicator with wet dropper ) set up??? Many thanks on this vid, looking forward to tying this one! Cheers from Australia.

@AvidMax 2 года назад

Yes, absolutely! I fish droppers with tungsten beads in the 2.0 to 2.5 mm size frequently, size of the dry fly and the floatant you use will definitely affect your ability to go heavier with the nymph.

@@AvidMax Fantastic, thank you for responding to my question! Please keep the vids coming, all the very best!

@rjf1877 2 года назад

I was just wondering if there is a reason to tie the foam in on the side of the hook rather than on the top of the shank. I know it is not in keeping with the original recipe for the fly, but I've gotten great buoyancy using snowshoe rabbit for my wings, any thoughts on this alteration ? Thanks very much.

@AvidMax 2 года назад

For me, tying it on the side of the hook helps me get the first wraps down neatly. Snowshoe is an interesting substitution. I don’t see any reason why that wouldn’t make a killer fly. The Usual is a great pattern due to it’s use of Snowshoe Rabbit.

@rjf1877 2 года назад

@@AvidMax Thanks for the info ! I've seen the "Usual" fly, I'll look it up, I hope it is one of you videos, you guys do a great job on you tying tutorials. Thank again.

@komando8365 4 года назад

Whats protecting the hackle? Would you rib this with mono?

@AvidMax 3 года назад

Thanks for the question! here's a note from the tyer: "You can add mono or an XS/Fine wire for added durability. Tying it without allows me to tie a bunch more quickly. There are times I have fished flies with hackles that have come undone with what seemed like greater success than a perfectly looking fly. If you do utilize ribbing it will reverse the process of tying in the hackle. You will add your ribbing first and then wrap the hackle rewards similar to how I tied the Elk Hair in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gSQmSXC3dHM.html "

@grantlaredo9795 2 года назад

Hi again, this maybe a silly question, But what mm foam do you use, cant wait to try and tie this fly.......

@AvidMax 2 года назад

That is the 2mm Hareline foam, found here: www.avidmax.com/hareline-thin-fly-foam/
