Bass Popper Fly Swap
The surface strike of a bass is unforgettable and the right pooper
can make the difference. Submit your bass popper and then see
how others make theirs and the variations in the materials available
to other tiers. |

Deer Hair Water Dragon |
Based on the US salamander fly. used on a sinking
or sink tip line in a yoy-yo retrieve. the waggle of the fly
on the rise is what gets the bass charging. |

the flies tied in this swap will help me! |

Foam Diving Kicker Frog |
This frog is a combination of ideas. It dives
when retrieved, the hind legs kick with a pause strip retrieve.
I've caught Largemouth Bass with this fly, only my friend Chet
caught larger ones with it. |

Chet's Izzy Itsabug |
I found the fly on the internet. With a few changes
suggested by my friend Chet, it became a terrific fish catcher.
It's durable and floats high and visible. Grandpa, who's 92,
used this fly this summer, first time he's used a flyrod for
years. What more could I say? |

G.String Popper (thong popper) |
The name is just a silly pun. It is a small popper
made out of beach thong rubber not the G.String thong. Floats
all day except when it is being eaten which is often. Can also
be made as a tube/slider fly but I prefer the normal. |

Foam Back Frog |
A fairly simple foam fly, that looks like a frog
to me. Fish probably just try to eat it because it looks alive. |

Foam Head Popper |
I like a small-headed relatively quiet popper
for river fishing I have a couple of patterns, but will decide
which I can tie best in quantity. Its good practice tying a few
of the same thing! |
