Here's a foam crayfish that needs work: the proportions aren't right

You make some awesome foam flies both dry and wet. I'd love to try some
of them but you're using types of foam that just aren't available to the
rest of us. The "craft" foam available to us tyers, just doesn't cut it.
You spent alot of time putting up instructions, photos etc. on your
webpage for flies that none of us will be able to tie.

Yes you're right. I bought a bunch of this foam in the late
1980s, for boat seat cusions, and then discovered it was the best
fly tying stuff around. I've been shooting my mouth off about it
for 22 years now. And not one wholesaler has taken the bait.
This is the information age? Maybe so.
Maybe the wholesalers are just dumb as a stump.
