The Frogulator
Saturday, July 18, 2015
Here’s an easy-to-tie foam bodied frog pattern for the dog days of summer. I tied this to try out Pat Cohen’s pre-cut Frog Legs. www.rusuperfly.com. The body is created out of 1/2” diameter insulation foam. This is readily available at most hardware stores. Shape the body with a razor blade, cut a horizontal slit in the foam, and use CA adhesive to glue the legs in. You can reinforce with thread but I haven’t found it necessary. The pattern uses .125” yellow map tacks for the eyes and rubber legs for the front arms.
This fly is definitely tied to throw so nothing fancy about the paint job. Coat the eyes with some Clear Cure Goo Hydro and take it to the water. The silhouette is just perfect.
