I spend a lot of time on flytyingforum.com If you tie and you havent checked it out yet take some time and do so. Anyways, I have been in a few fly swaps there. One of the last ones I did was a Bluegill swap. I tied up some Fish Foolin' Frog poppers in size 10 and sent them on their way to the swap meister. A few days ago I got a PM from Mark Varga. He lost the popper but managed to catch quite a number of bluegill on it as well as his first largemouth bass on the fly rod with it. I promised Mark I would send him another one. I wanted to share with everyone photos he took of some of the fish including the bass. It does my heart good to see my fly in a fish's mouth after being used by someone else. Clearly it did well and I was happy to hear that.

ReplyDeleteAwesome looking poppers, I really like the the top photo with the dots on the fly. Great Job.
