Fly Tying Foam – Buoyant Material for Trout, Chub and Predator Flies

Fly tying foam is one of the most versatile and effective fly tying materials available, especially for creating highly buoyant patterns. Made from closed cell foam, it resists water absorption and provides excellent floatation, making it ideal for tying dry flies, terrestrials, and poppers for trout, chub and other freshwater and saltwater species.

Closed Cell Foam Sheets – Durable and High Density

Our selection includes closed cell foam sheets in a variety of high density options. These are perfect for tying realistic and durable fly patterns that stay afloat even in rough water. Available in multiple thicknesses and vibrant colours, they are great for: Grasshoppers, Beetles, Stoneflies, Caddisflies, Mayflies.

Foam can be easily cut, layered, and shaped, offering endless possibilities for creativity at the vise.

Booby Eyes and Foams for Stillwater Flies

Fly tying foam is commonly used to create booby eyes – essential for tying booby flies, which are highly effective in stillwater trout fishing. The buoyancy of the foam helps suspend the fly off the bottom, triggering aggressive takes from feeding fish.

You’ll also find smaller foam pieces perfect for adding flotation to nymphs, emergers, and parachute posts in dry flies.

Pre-Cut Foam Bodies and Detached Bodies for Realistic Patterns

For convenience and consistency, we offer pre-cut foam bodies and detached bodies for faster fly tying. These components are ideal for:

    Mayflies (extended foam bodies)

    Sedge and caddis patterns

    Terrestrial flies like ants, hoppers and wasps

With the pre-formed bodies fly tyers save time at the bench and are especially useful when tying in bulk or matching a hatch quickly.

Round Foam for Ants, Lake Flies & Terrestrials

Our round fly tying foam is available in various diameters and is perfect for creating segmented insect bodies. Use thinner foam for ant bodies and caterpillars, or thicker foam for larger lake flies and attractor patterns.

Foam Poppers for Freshwater & Saltwater Predators

Foam is also the go-to material for tying poppers and topwater predator flies. Foam popper heads and sliders are excellent for attracting pike, zander, perch and saltwater predators like tarpon or GT.

These surface flies provoke explosive strikes and add excitement to your fly fishing adventures.
