New Batch of Poppers Ready for Action












I have been tying up a lot of poppers lately.  I really do enjoy both tying and fishing them.  There is something so wonderful about watching a fish rise and smash that popper.  It is especially exciting knowing that fly is yours and you tied it.  I have been working on perfecting my stippled popper method.  This method was created and perfected by a friend of mine.  He ties the most wonderful looking popper.  His stippled dots are amazing.  One other thing I would like to mention here:  my wife really needs to get back to tying her own flies.  She is starting to critique every fly I tie now.  She never likes my color combos.  I told her tonight that she is more than welcome to pick the colors when she ties her own poppers.  Well here they are.  Let me know what you all think.  I am sure my wife will!

  1. Do you purchase or make the bodies? If you buy them, where do they come from??

  2. riverwalker34 I actually buy these from J. Stockard fly Fishing. I use the Wapsi brand. They come 10 bodies to a "kit" and it includes the hooks. I do make balsa wood bodies at times. I just started using the balsa wood so right now my bodies aren't that great. Hope that helps and thanks for looking and commenting
