Fly Fishing POPPERS Explained (Fly Fishing For Smallmouth Bass)

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Which popper do you like the most in this video? Comment below!

[@davestevens1600]

Flat faced popper with rubber legs and a bit of feather is the reason I discovered fly fishing. As kids, my older brother and I, tossed them back and forth with spin cast rod and reels constantly striving for more distance and stealthy landings around the snaked infested farm ponds near our house. It always worked when nothing else did. I still ponder what the fish sees in them.

Got a link to part 2? Thanks!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Eric Mayhew Don’t think they filmed it yet.

[@edm6279]

@@Madriveroutfitters Noooooooo! I am consuming all smallmouth on the fly content I can get my mouse on. :)

The mic

[@cameronnewbold1611]

I like the improvised mic holder

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Patented design!

[@a_j130]

Duck tape next time please

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Can't. They wouldn't give us the rights for the patent. It's a special tape that we developed for this application. Thanks though.

[@scottm.2490]

lol that butter and fish chart in the background

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Scott M. It’s true. All about the butter.

[@farmfishandfreedom2933]

I love fishing the XL double barrel targeting tarariras and dorados in Argentina

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Nice. Those things are killer. Really "upped" the world of poppers the past few years.

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Great review on popper pations Pat 👍👍

Umpqua swimming frog looks sick!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

It is truly one of the best largemouth and smallmouth flies that you could own.

[@FTLiberty]

Thank you. Awesome video.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here. Stay tuned for part 2.

[@ronaldfisher5093]

I like the slider ( Sneaky Pete) variety, they are great for bluegill

[@Madriveroutfitters]

RONALD FISHER Top pick for sure!

[@scottcampbell7033]

I find that anything small enough to fit in their mouth is great for bluegill. Sometimes that doesn't even matter haha

[@Madriveroutfitters]

The beauty of panfish on a fly.

[@rickeyquiles8080]

Always amazing content

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks and please stay tuned.

[@lornehargis2614]

Another great video. You mentioned a video on how to fish the popper. Any idea when it will be available? Thx.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Should be pretty soon. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.

[@charlieboutin3341]

You’ll probably cover this in upcoming video, any advice on leader or tippet size & type? Do y’all prefer mono, or fluorocarbon? I’ve been using 4# fluoro on 4wt catching nice bluegill and up to 2# largemouth on small foam bugs, but want to step up to my 6 or 8wt and target larger bass with poppers 🙂Thanks for great video! 🎣 (loved the Umpqua swimming frog)

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Charlie Boutin There are a few videos already that touch on this and yes, more to come. In the meantime, send your questions over to the shop at [e-mail] and they will answer you there. Thanks for being here.

[@markdiagosmalls6121]

The American Flag looks great. Well done.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

Could you please do one on trout fishing with poppers???

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Will pass along to the folks at the shop! Thanks.

[@boogaman5487]

I’ve got a 5 weight rod I’m looking to throw some bass lures around id my rod to light?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Please send questions over to the shop and they will be happy to help. Thanks.

[@BassMaster.454]

Where do you get the heads? I tie nymphs, wooly boogers, streamers ect.

[@matthewfurman3272]

I'm really curious about this chart in the background.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Give a call to the shop and they will be happy to explain.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Always.

[@BigfootTJ]

I blame y'all for my newest addiction. Lol

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Glad to take that blame! Thanks for being here.

[@edsauer2889]

Difficult to determine popper size without seeing them in person.....what size are those Booglebug poppers you're holding up? Thanks

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Size 4 is what we use most.

[@GLWFishing]

How long/ how many fish do these poppers last until

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Sorry but no way to know that.....too many variables. Feel free to call or e-mail the shop with further questions.

[@brettdufrene2723]

Could I use these with just a spinning rod and reel, I don’t have a fly reel, but looking for a top water lure for panfish

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Probably not but you could try.

[@vincenta.1677]

Nice gear! Where are ya'll located ?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. The shop is in Columbus, Ohio. www.madriveroutfitters.com

[@jsnazzz123]

What kind of indicators do you use with a popper

[@Madriveroutfitters]

No indicators needed with a popper. The popper itself is the indicator.

[@chrisgrimyser2643]

One stellar would suffice haha

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@covapack]

what size Frog was this?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Sorry but you'd have to check with Pat at the shop directly. We don't know the answer.
