Hair Band Fly (Mop Fly Alternative)

This is a fly made using a Girls Hair Band (Scrunchies) as a tail. Great alternative to the Mop Fly concept. Super durable, easy to tie.
Search on Amazon for "Baby Hair Scrunchies" and you should find them.

My daughter just got a bunch of them for Christmas, what good timing... LOL

[@rickroy3257]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

[@marcwatkins6784]

I'm always looking for alternative/non-typical materials to create flies & save money. You've just given me some great ideas! This is a super looking larvae imitation. With glass bead or without. With hackle or without. Genius!

[@kenheard5693]

Thanks I’ll try it. Looks like a better alternative to a mop fly.

[@ernieflynn5124]

Great idea,I like the creativity here. I've been trying some flys with pencil balloons that look pretty good. Thanks.

[@williammclauchlan2610]

Great looking little larvae imitation and so simple,thank you so much for sharing!!

[@jeffcopenhaver2217]

You’re giving your age away with the mention of the five and dime, lol. Great idea with the hair scrunchie!

[@wlew3499]

Very innovative, nice work. The crane fly is my favorite, good for trout/walleye. I must say some people are spending way too much time home alone.

@Nathan Quinn thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Hello Richard, do you know the Brand of hair tie you use? I’ve been unable to find the kind with good variegations like yours. Thanks Dave

[@richardboesel]

I don't have aspecific brand and I bought a bunch a few years ago. Do a google search on "Elastic Baby hair tie". Here is one I found-- www.amazon.com/Pieces-Hairbands-Elastic-Rubber-Assorted/dp/B075V51HM2/ref=sr_1_10?crid=2PCELJEREPYQR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UFffD8sLr6E_lFj2pjPuHflinsmcJX-rkVuDtAsKUZjj5IC6RuSE7-O1f95q9g3bJQwXFyUw61w8yCGcE-yKCl9p-O8aXYr46CLvFuEzq3cdRvCmmczUEmymbAhaohCTOe1BWgJ66SXXis1we5x_1nX31Ku85YKmxODAW_oHmC6aaMTcq6BfGGsIr4cFfaPraZYp_Ex-nD2h-QU1Y2yLnFcFEVPNc_KxL4TaAkAw07DI0BUyFkp3g_UejjbhPlzOy0l6cOn92-u7Os-wHvGHTgW84NK_KEzlP73CdayRUVo.46QbZMj8gi3_gf2dBLnpFTwZjCnAM-UXy4o-ez1-eoQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=girls+elastic+mini+hair+ties&qid=1708567330&sprefix=girls+elastic+mini+hair+ties%2Caps%2C268&sr=8-10

[@gianttweety1969]

Richard, all the hair ties I'm finding are more of a terry cloth. Yours seem to be a stretchy foam material. Any other sources? Thanks!

I got mine at a local "Dollar Store" but a search on Amazon --I found these which I think are the same. www.amazon.com/100PCS-Toddler-Elastic-Ponytail-Seamless/dp/B08DNJKDDP/ref=asc_df_B08DNJKDDP/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459692508362&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17979194219910436030&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009901&hvtargid=pla-975535234545&psc=1 Hope that helps.

Revenge. They steal our hackle for hair fashion, we steal their hair bands.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

think these mop flies mimic caterpillars....

[@richardboesel]

Most likely!

[@nicholsceramiccoating8284]

AWESOME

[@rubinconineski5730]

Thank you very much. Materials are secrets for me.

[@midisax]

Does Amazon sell these bands?

[@MelodyMiller-v7z]

Beads are un nessasary.

[@rickroy3257]

Who makes these hair bands?

[@richardboesel]

They are probably made in China but I got mine from the local Dollar store in a bag with many colors. I have seen them under several different Brands. Search on Amazon for Kids Hair bands. Here is a link to one example- www.amazon.com/dp/B0725KV757/ref=twister_B07CG7N3WJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 but the thickness of the variegations vary by manufacturer.
