This month, Chris Williams will be on hand to tie the Extended Body Hopper. This fly is very interesting as it uses a needle to extend the body of a terrestrial fly. There are several variations of this fly, here is a video of one by renown tier Jerry Coviello as shown in the photo above. CLICK HERE. Like the variation we will tie, it uses a needle for the extension.
This extended body technique will be new to many of our tiers. So come out and learn another method of enhancing the flies you tie! As always, materials other than thread will be provided and we have several sets of tools for any who do not have their own.
As always, we broadcast the sessions live via Zoom and YouTube for those who cannot attend. The YouTube sessions remain for future reference on the Kisatchie Fly Fishers YT channel. If you would like to join the Zoom but do not have the link, please email Bill Morrison.
