I usually end up doing that Charlie but I would like to find a punch that
would cookie-cutter the things out so I could save some time during the
get-ready-for-spring fly tieing rampage that seems to set in each year. In
fact, using the Xacto knife method I got tired one evening making beetles
and ended up tying up some rectangular strips of tan foam to some #6 hooks
and ended up with a killer smallmouth fly. Leaving the squared-off front
end sticking out beyond the eye and turned up it acts like a gurggler
pattern and the smallies can't resist it. Don't let Fank C. know, there
won't be a darn smallmouth left in Virginia waters once they go down enough
to wade (may take a couple of years).

Pre-cut beetle bodies? Just get a sheet of foam and use scissors or an
x-acto knife.
