Jcpilot 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2009 Hello. Discovered fly fishing this summer and joined a local club. Having a blast. Here are my first hoppers. Size 14 hooks with 1/4 inch foam. Going to test them out when I log off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jcpilot 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 They worked and I finally caught a black crappie. To little to keep but good to know they are in there. The large mouth bass loved these poppers. I made a surprising discovery while fishing today. When I cast the popper to the shore line of these gravel pits I was surprised at how many large bass I caught that were in inches of water waiting to ambush anything that fell into the water. Great day of fishing. The epoxy on the poppers held up really well too. 14 bass in all and a bunch of bluegill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
