Tying Tips: Use a leg puller to pull the legs through
Who knows what this fly looks like? Everyone has different theories as to why these work… All I know is that they definitely do! It may be about the most fun you can have on a fly rod. Big bass eating poppers is a blast.
The foam body keeps the fly riding high and floating all day. The rubber legs and hackle work with each other to create movement and vibrations in the water.
Land the fly along the banks with a hard splat! on the bank. This grabs attention and can often elicit a strike right there. Cast these in shallower water. Target points, shoals, logs, and overhangs to tease out fish.
Most people want to fish a popper fast and “chug” it quickly back to them. Rarely this works. Try fishing these slower, give it a soft pop every 10 seconds or so and then a hard pop every minute or so. The biggest bass you’ll catch on a popper will sip it under the water without hardly a ripple. If you are fishing somewhere with current try dead drifting a popper just like you would a dry fly for trout.
