Peterjay 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Beautiful work Norm - very creative. They remind me of the artistic pike lures that the guys in Finland make. Well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 See you got the painting down. Very good flies. Do the brown trout take these? or is it generally the more agressive species that chase them down. I've not really seen the poppers used in fresh water UK unless its for pike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 these a mainly for bass and panfish but i have had trout hit them but not that often i do believe poppers were/are being used in england for trout. at least that was in an article i read in on of the british fly fishing magazines years ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
perchjerker 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 GREAT WORK!! Beautiful paint jobs. I would encourage you to try simply Krystal Flash as the only tailing material on a few. It is quick and simple to attach, and the fish seem to love it. I use it on some of my foam bodied flies with great success. Regards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 Beautiful bugs Norm! Seems like you have a bit of artist in you. Can't wait to see the finished "fly" especially pictured in the mouth of those slimy cold water fish up your way. I heard big brown trout will come up for poppers right at dark.
