Topwater Fly Fishing With Deer Hair Poppers

Come fishing with us in the Ozarks. We share tips and tricks on how to fly fish topwater for smallmouth, spotted, and large mouth bass with deer hair poppers and divers. This adventure took place in August, a great time of year for bass to start looking up for a big meal.

Im not sure what the rules are on mailing deer hair or feathers. But if you want any hair or grouse /pheasant feathers, let me know, and I'll set some aside for you.

Typically tiers won’t source anything that could be a contamination risk for the rest of their in home fly shop lol. I’m also not sure about shipping in and out of country. I appreciate the offer my man! Going to stay on the safe side and local :-)

What river is that? I live in southwest missouri and unfortunately all of the rivers look very similar.

​@@fishhandsfrankybuggers don't work, either. Whatever that caveman guy throws, seems to work though. Or maybe it's just good juju from bringing good food and not just soggy sandwiches?
