The color of the pupas was amber and that's when the wheels started churning in my mind. The only material that looked right (a tapered body) was vernille. Looking at San Juan Worms and another caddis pattern from a friend, I started trying different things and came up with the early poopah (I didn't call it that yet). Finding the right shade of amber required Doug Brutocau to dye it for me. I tried different materials for the head, underbody and antennae, but found that ostrich worked best for the head and wood duck for the antennae. Pearl tinsel seemed great for the underbody, it added flash like an air bubble but was covered up by the vernille and the legs as to not be too flashy. It worked well. It obliterated fish. I've caught trout, steelhead, salmon, bass and bluegill on it. Sometimes I tie it on a heavier wire hook for bigger fish. I've had reports from customers all over saying how it is the "crack cocaine" for trout. Wonderful! I've tried different colors and sizes and found size 14 in the amber (tan) and olive to be the best colors. Coming up with a name was just trying to find something that people could remember and if humor helped out, so be it. Pupa is pronounced 'pewpa' as far as I know, but a lot of people call them 'poopa', hence the name, easy to remember. Having the poopah in The Fly Shop's catalog helps with people's familiarity with the fly and when fishermen try it, there's no going back to other caddis imitations." ~ Tim Fox, creator of the Poopah.   0% Details   SKU Ump_poopah1 Quantity in stock 1000 item(s) available Weight 0.10 lbs Price: $1.99 Options   Poopah Sizes olive 14 olive 16 tan 14 tan 16 Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 Add to cart     Add to wish list   Send to friend Your name: * Your e-mail: * Recipient's email: * Send to friend   Recommended products list Customers who bought this product also bought the following products: Montana Fly Rick Anderson's Bird of Prey OAKLEY HALF JACKET® ACTIVATED BY TRANSITIONS® WAPSI SQUIRREL DUBBING Idylwilde Royal Trude Regal Medallion Series Traditional Jaw Vise Targus Shafer's 3D Nymph WAPSI DAYLIGHT TYERS LAMP Rainy's Cripple Brown Drake GAMMA FROG HAIR HIGH PERFORMANCE TIPPET Wapsi Sow Scud Dubbing   Customer feedback Product rating Voting Select your rating...
