Burning Man pattern

Down at the pond the other day, I bumped into a local fishing with an orange popper that reminded me of the Burning Man pattern that I had seen recently on Global Fly Fisher [link: Burning Man]. They describe it as:
"A strange but efficient foam popper for all kinds of strange fish."
It looked like an easy pattern to make, so I had a go.


I used some orange floating fly line for the legs, orange braid and black cotton for other parts. These four variants took about 20 minutes to knock-up and I have no idea if they will work, but they should send all the right signals to the fish. Apparently you need a few as the fish reduce the length of the legs quite quickly. That sounds like good advice.
