The Foamulator is a foam version of the classic Stimulator pattern. The main difference in the Foamulator (compared to the classic Stimi) is the foam back, rubber legs and Ice Dub body. The Foamulator can be tied in many different color combinations such as, Black, Olive, Red and Tan. In this video James from InTheRiffle is tying the Golden color. This color imitates a golden stonefly and also makes for a good general attractor pattern. This is a great hopper dropper pattern. The extra foam helps keep this fly riding high and very visible!!
