Tying the Charlie Bisharat's Pole Dancer

[Darian]

Flyfisher70,.... Your copy of the Pole Dancer looks good so far. You mentioned that your copy was heavier than the original. I would say that's because you chose to use a soft foam popper head. How about using a hard foam head. It should be just as easy too Dremel out the hard foam as the one you're using and will result in a lighter popper....

Another video you might find instructive youtube is the Zaggin Zook at:

Hey guys,
I decided to tie up some of Charlie Bisharat's Pole Dancer flies with some tweaks. The only thing these have in common with Charlie's wonderful fly is just the looks. I use completely different materials and also a larger saltwater hook. My flies are intended for use on big, mean saltwater fish and so I tied them very heavy duty.*I believe the tan version might be the magic ticket for fooling the Roosters and that the gray and olive will work great on the Dorado. I also tied up a larger Dorado-colored fly about 6 inches long for tossing to Sailfish.
