Foam Body Poppers and Foam Body Hoppers Winners!!

I can’t wait to get out this week and try out my new poppers I just received from ---- Warm Water for Fly Fishing and Fly Tying for Bluegill, Smallmouth, and Bass and More  ---- I am really impressed with these poppers because of the foam bodies. The number 8 size pattern will land lightly on the clear water at Smith Lake. The lighter presentation in clear water the better chance one has to connect. The different colors used on all 5 popper bodies will get the attention of any hungry bluegill. I ask Josh to mail me one of his hopper patterns, which was tied in size 6. The foam pattern body is tied so one can drift it or chug it. The face is designed to create a lot of drag when pulled through the water. I know this fly will be a killer in the early spring for bass, bluegill and even trout. I like to support quality fly tiers and Josh at--- Warm Water for Fly Fishing and Fly Tying for Bluegill,Smallmouth and Bass and More ---- is one the best.
I really like the color combos
Really impressed with this pattern

Spending Time With my Little Buddy


I can’t think of a better way to spend most of this week. I am talking about spending time with my Grandson” Bryson”. I am on another one of these trips where I stay with my daughter and Bryson, while B.T. is away on a Midas business trip in Texas. I’m not getting to go to the gym this week, but keeping up with Bryson is gym enough.
I am looking forward to next week that is when the fishing starts in earnest for me. The temps will be hitting the 62-degree mark and I should be on fish by Tuesday.
Got to be fun adding gravel to the top of tables
Waiting for Pops at the bottom
Got to love it!!!
