Al Troth Dave Whitlock and John Foust

I borrowed about 30 flies--tied by Al Troth John Foust and Dave
Whitlock--from Fred Nelson this morning.
The photos (just finished) are at:

and

None of these photos are annotated yet. That'll happen eventually.

I'm loving this guy.

John Faust--who owned and operated the Fish Haus fly shop in
Hamilton--is well
known here in Montana. The Ugly Rudamus and host of other such
inventions
are distinctly Faustian flies. John also helped popularize the MadamX
(a Doug Swisher fly I think)
much the same way Pat Barnes helped popularize the Goofus Bug (which
later became
known as the Humpy).

John sold the Fish Haus a few years ago, but he's still an active guide
and fly tier in
Hamilton area.

Does anyone know what the orange body is made of on the last one? It
looks like foam of some sort...but I can't really place what it is or
how it was done?

thanks,

The orange bodies are made from closed cell eva (ethylvinylacetate)
foam.
The extended body version has the foam wrapped around stiff but
hidden piece of plastic of some kind.

Evazote is a brand name associated with eva foam.
Eva foam does come in different densities.
Evazote is not bad--it's not the heaviest eva foam out there--but
it's not the lightest either.

Eva foams can't be dyed with Rit, but they can be colored
with solvent-based marking pens.

very nice.
