    Default Gearing up for smallies!


    After doing a little wading and fly fishing the past week, I'm getting excited about going after some small river smallmouth. I was looking to tie some bigger streamers, but will really need to buy some materials for much of that. I found a bunch of popper bodies and the hooks to go with in my stuff, so I spray painted the bodies, clear coated with nail polish, and tied them up with what I had.

    Tonight I glued up another 10 bodies, but I tried 5 of them as "sliders", ie, reverse bodies. Need to paint them and tie a few to try out.

    For smallies I use Root Beer colored bead head Wooly Buggers. Hop them along a rocky bottom a few inches at a time. Pay attention and hang on, because the strikes are sudden and violent.

    Old enough to know better and way too old to care!

    Those poppers look great!! You tie quality flies so I have no doubt they will hold up well and catch fish!! Good luck fishing!!

    I wish I knew how to tie because Bass Pro wants like $5 for one popper!!
