How to tie the Popper Mayfly by Steve Cullen

Today we are having a look at the Popper Mayfly tied by Steve Cullen. The Popper Mayfly as Steve talks about in the video is a unique fly that does well on flat glides and does an excellent job of mimicking a crippled Mayfly. He also mentions in the video that twitching this fly is also a great way to trigger a strike. Some unique features added by Steve are the Triggers he ties into the body using Pheasant Tail, making this stand out from the crowd.

All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, but as always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we'll be happy to help. Time to tie the Popper Mayfly, with the guidance of Steve Cullen.
