I think accardo distributes it now. I like the black w/white rubber legs. Cast it out, and don't twitch it, just let it sink really slow. Works great in clear water when they are bedding. If water is not real clear or is fairly deep you might wanna use a strike indicator. I'm sure ther are other companies or flytiers on the site that make something similar.

Or if you want to get fancy, you can use a Dremel lathe to shape foam with an emery board:

Used to do it all the time out on the canoe or at ponds. They seem to like the ugliest looking flies and poppers, maybe because all the pretty looking baits has hooked them a time or two :p

Don't worry, Steve. I am sending you two like the ones pictured above.:D
They are Dremel Foam Bugs. The hook is a size 8 Aberdeen. The tail is short marabou. The round head is a foam core plug that is shaped on the Dremel with an emery board. The body is punched out foam discs from a foam sheet. One or two turns of hackle between the body and the head. Add plastic half round eyes. Loctite Super Glue in the Easy Brush bottle locks all the parts in place.

Tail: Marabou short

Hackle Collar: Dry fly (rooster), about two turns
Head: Round shaped foam core plug
