Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wine cork Popper Flies
If you're willing to coat them with epoxy, balsa works really well. Small stoppers from https://www.jelinek.com/ are what Walt used to use for Walt's poppers.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wine cork Popper Flies
I had success using a dremel on artificial corks from cheap Trader Joe's wine, natural cork works too, but is more likely to split--had some old woodglue that helped. Sandpaper is fine too if your not doing much shaping, all i did was make a concave front though so nothing fancy..

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wine cork Popper Flies
In my experience, the quality of wine corks varies greatly. Many are too crumbly to be decent fly material, or have inconvenient voids. So cork selection is the most important step.
After that, you need the tools to shape the cork. I have seen folks improvise a lathe from a power drill or rotary tool to get a round shape. If you're headed to District Angling, you can stop by Cherrydale Hardware to see if they have Dragon Skin or something similar for rough shaping.
Another way to do it with slices of cork, a la the Gerbubble Bug (google 'cork Gerbubble Bug').
Have fun!
