Great video , I’ve been tying for over 30 years and have been resistant to tying Squirmy worms and tying with foam . I’ve been in my tying room since December and have tied nothing but hundreds of foam flies patterns , my wife says I drank the koolaid I tell her no it’s not like that . I feel bad for lying to her. So yes it’s true you can teach an old dog new tricks .Thanks for sharing

[@mjdean1977]

Just started tying jigs and found your channel. The wife and I are heading to the Ozarks first week of June for Crappie. Enjoying your content!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!

[@rickneck2857]

Foam is a great addition to any fly tyers arsenal. So much can be done with it, nice frog, impressive! the addiction of tying. AMEN BRO

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

It sure is!

[@DSugarB]

You're a mad man for coming up with the Knucklehead. This was a better tutorial than I thought it'd be ! Well done Brian 👏

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks, man!

[@GreatbearOutdoors]

I was used to skeptical of craft foam but know use it in tons of patterns.

[@godsknightjesusfreak9864]

I love your explanation to this craft, I’m just starting, and I needed these videos . So I don’t waist money or time.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Glad I can help.

[@willyoung880]

Never thought about turning a popper head around. Great tip for thinking outside the box.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Good stuff!

[@BalladofJanine]

That pasta foam made me SUBSCRIBE

[@michaelramos3589]

Thoroughly enjoyed! First time viewer. Thanks!

[@bobalbrecht4230]

I just tied some bluegill foam flies this past weekend at AGFC JB Hunt with TU.

[@ryantancock2690]

Thanks for the video. I’ve never seen foam used like deer hair before. Now I need to try some. Thanks again

[@edpeter9411]

The only time I tied using foam was Last spring/summer when I filled my box with foam cicadas. I have a couple dozen cicada flies still and about a dozen sheets of black foam. Going to try some of the double barrel poppers next.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Go hit the Green in June and take your Cicadas :-)

[@PassThruOutdoorGear]

Thanks for posting. Foam poppers and divers are next on my list for the fly box .

[@shannonoverton6752]

Just started binging your channel, I love the outside the box approach mixed with traditional tying. Great job I’m hooked

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

THANKS!!

[@joenelson1983]

I don't usually tie with foam but the fettuccine foam does look very tempting. Thanks for the video

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks for watching!

[@LoneAngler218]

I'm already figuring out how to scale this down for panfish! Thanks for inspiration!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Glad to help!

[@MichaelOrtiz-ii2en]

Just started watching your channel. I have been binging. I recently started making bucktail jigs for walleye. Your video on deer hair was awesome. Keep up the great work!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Welcome aboard!

[@tonymccall2162]

Love your channel. I’ve started trying to tie some of the flies you show. As a matter of fact I’m going to try a couple of them tomorrow in the Spring river.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Super cool!

[@Slumpbuster46]

Just found your channel as a new fly tier love you content on my 5th video already !!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!!

[@SavageFlies]

Great stuff Brian. I'm about to branch out from all my tiny trout flies and spin up some big patterns for snakeheads. I'm definitely digging that double barrel headed frog. 👍

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks, man! Snakeheads are on my radar for sure!

[@the_flies_that_bind]

I learn so much from your videos! Thanks so much and as always, keep ‘em coming!

[@michaelgriffin301]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks.

[@barnman73]

Oh hell yes! I told her the new paper cutter was for the "family" :)

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

HAHAHA!! Atta boy!

[@whiskeydan]

Excellent video, keep 'em coming 👍. Foam is probably one of my favorite materials and since seeing your knuckle deep streamers I've been playing with different ways to use foam slivers 🤣.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Super cool! Thanks!

[@samh4232]

Brian been following for a little over a year now. Mostly tied dry flies, nymphs, and non articulate streamers…but as of lately I’ve been getting into salt water or large flies. You have me searching for the LIRS Now because my peak rotary isn’t enough. Keep up the informative and teaching vids

[@Fishing.friday]

I picked my vise up from spawnflyfish.com

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

You will not regret the LIRS.....I will never be without one. Definitely NOT for small flies--but big hooks.

[@gregmulhern4757]

Heck yeah, about time! 90% of the terrestrial patterns I tie use foam, always looking for ways to up my game. Great video

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks, Greg!

[@blingforyourstringwithmatt6391]

Awesome video yet again! Could you possibly do some dry fly stuff in the future. Wondering for us northern Michigan folks!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Nice!

[@rahmonster24]

Just started tying with foam and it is definitely fun! Haven’t tried the popper heads or double barrel heads or foam diver style heads yet

[@roneddins8395]

Great ideas, I enjoy your videos!

[@andrevanaardt4846]

Love foam, thanks for the tips

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks for watching!

[@lindachase1474]

That fettucine foam is so cool! Thanks for showing it

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

It really is!

[@Abcd12342600]

Very good video about foam, this will help

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Glad to hear!

[@thomashjemsted1163]

Great stuff! Really like your tying tips videos! Greetings from Denmark 🙌🏼

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks so much!

[@newhampshireoutdoornetwork9505]

That's pretty cool I've never seen the fettuccine foam before can't wait to see what else can be done with it

[@rabbithole_flies]

this was a good one Brian! & i liked the knucklehead head tutorial! 🤘

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks so much!

[@LR-fs5cp]

That was way cool and way different definitely out of the box on thinking

[@easttnflyfreak2870]

thanks for the great tips !

[@sliflyfishing]

Great video man, I'm going to have to try the extended body fly.

[@alexhendrick8288]

Another banger!

[@junglejim8mm]

Very cool stuff.

[@quintthefishingwolf1716]

I might need to try tying some knuckleheads again soon because I struggled with the head the last couple times, but this should probably help

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Hopefully this helps. Here is the original video, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHWaZ5age894pJI

[@mhanson4972]

Great info! Thanks! 😀

[@epsieblaine7968]

I dodged foam for years.Three years really got into foam.I turn a double backwards makes a great mouse head.I color foam with a marker and a can of compresed air,kinda works like an airbrush,works great great.Nice lookin frog you have there.

[@Ecofish1]

Nice uses of the foam.

[@jtarryohpengyew8173]

Wow, how come I never thought of that? It look so cool, but will it catches fish? Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@emirselimovic1350]

Great tips, thanks man

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

You bet!

[@Fishing.friday]

Good stuff in here! Keep it up!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Appreciate it!

[@richardkidder3449]

Love the videos, keep them coming. One tip for cutting foam is to use a rotary cutter. It makes cutting small batches of fettuccini a breeze.

[@fh_flyfishingchannel1921]

The Fettuccine foam gave me some ideas and inspiration, Thanks Brian

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Let me know what you come up with!

[@tysonolsen6147]

I’m gonna go home and cut some fettuccine foam now!

[@robkasahara9219]

Thanks Brian!!! Been having trouble figuring out the fettuccinni foam now I can put your technique into practice. How bout a fettuccinni foam mouse?!!

[@jos9063]

I have so much foam, but needed more inspiration. Thanks! Other than extended body dries and beetles how else could you implement craft foam? Split wing with a bulbous head? I'm thinking mayfly.

[@billnock8787]

Another great video

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks, Bill!

[@kgriffi5]

I’ve enjoyed your channel. Keep it up

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Will do!

[@joshuashouse9559]

Lobe the look of the knuckle head I gotta find the video you did on it ❤❤

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

[@trendyfly]

Thanks!

[@robbowen9439]

I love that fettuccine foam! I had never seen that before.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Cool stuff!

[@billpuit6231]

Thank you, I think it would be a good bass fly.

[@cheflexx778]

I like that fettucini foam. Def going to play with it. Thanks

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

It's so good!

[@FlyTyer1948]

That frog is marvelous. Foam is such fun to play around with. For the Knuckle Deep, are those Clouser eyes heavy or light? I’m wonder how much the fly is intended to sink or float. Btw, who knew you could spin or flair foam like deer hair? Very useful to know. Thank you! Just a thought, you can lock down the tag end of thread in the extended body by placing a small but strong magnet on your head of your vise or on the bodkin over the thread. On my vise, I put it over the body. I frequently use tags & having to constantly readjust the thread gets frustrating.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks! The Knuckledeep uses a medium eye and is designed to sink....but not SUPER fast. I wanted something a little smaller and faster sinking than the original Knucklehead.
