Fly Tying Video: How to tie the Schloppy Toppy with Umpqua Signature Tyer Delaney Chapman
By Anglers All
In this video, Umpqua Signature Tyer, Delaney Chapman, gives us a detailed look at how to tie his Schloppy Toppy Streamer.
Delaney developed this streamer over years of testing and tweaking while looking for a light streamer with a ton of movement in the water. This fly features a popper head, which means Delaney prefers to fish it with an intermediate or sink tip fly line to keep it under the surface. This allows the fly to dip, dive, and make big movements with each strip of the fly line.
Over the past few years, anglers armed with this fly have caught just about every predatory species available in Colorado. This has made it a successful pattern for the annualMile High 25 On The Fly.
Enjoy the tying video, and see the materials list below. If you’d rather buy it than tie it, we carry this fly in multiple sizes and colors in both Littleton & Denver fly shops. You can alsopurchase the Schloppy Toppy online.
