List of 2025 Flies for this year


October: PTO Dreadnought

Name: PTO Dreadnought – Pike Popper

Originator: Mick Trompen

MATERIALS:
Hook:– 1/0 or larger long shank hook of choice

Tail: Neck hackle – choice of color

Body: Sheet foam – markers to make patterns

Text Box: Could not find a video for this one.  Looks like a rather simple pattern.  Just tie on the feathers for the tail and glue on the body.  Might take a bit of prep to make the foam body.  Other poppers from Trompen use clear FlexSeal to coat the body to make it a bit more durable.RIO's PTODreadnought Orange-Yellow
