I thought I had a bass on.

The top water action is why I love fly fishing so much.

They told me they were size 14, I checked the size against some of my dry flies and yes they are close. I think you will be surprised to find they will produce.

I have some, but, they are definitely a little bigger and probably bought at Wal-Mart. Thanks for sharing your expertise here with the tips you provided. I knew the Idaho angler who has the state record there. It was I believe a 4lb-3oz specimen I think. Those are some huge Panfish!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787242134608887555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-84171570011187645952015-01-13T17:07:14.712-05:002015-01-13T17:07:14.712-05:00I have never seen poppers that small before.
