Fly Tying with Sheet Foam- the Foam Bodied White Fly!

How to tie the Foam Bodied White Fly, a simple step by step fly tying video tutorial for everyone, including fly tying for beginners with sheet foam, a great fly tying material. Fly fishing for smallmouths during the white fly hatch is a lot of fun. These flies have worked for me for this type of fly fishing, but will accommodate most people’s fly tying skills.
This fly tying video instruction features a simple materials and has a full list in the beginning of the video. Simple stuff for a very effective pattern. If you watch the video to the end, you will be able to tie this very productive fly, and even beginners will be able to do so.
I am an outdoor writer and photographer with fly fishing articles articles that have appeared in national publications including Fly Tyer, American Angler and Outdoor Life. My fly fishing books include: “The New York Fly-Fishing Guide (Amato Publications), “Warmwater Fly Fishing- Finding and Catching Warmwater Species), and my new book, “The Greats of Adirondack Fly Fishing, ” which explores the lives of six anglers who shaped fly fishing in the Adirondack Mountains, including their fly patterns.

Looks like a fun fly to tie and simpler than the detached body pattern we've been tying. Thanks for the details. This style "White Fly" pattern works well here in Indiana too!!! Take Care

[@robstreeteroutdoors8912]

It is a simple tie and will float really well. Good luck with it!

[@garyproctor6123]

@@robstreeteroutdoors8912 There are many occasions where we use the white foam bodied fly tied on a size 6 as an indicator. It doesn't seem to spook the fish and we often catch fish on the way oversized indicator fly.
