MarcusDiGiovanni Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've been making some deer hair popper flies...You know the ones with the spun deer hair heads.I'm curious to know if these will bring in large numbers of bass forme? and how should I be fishing them? thank you!

musky66 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Oh yea, they work wonders! Fish em like any other topwater, and don't forget trolling them as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singingdog Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 When the topwater bite is on, they will work if you put them in front of fish. If you are spinning deer hair, tie some divers as well. They will often get hit when poppers won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramble Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The deer hair poppers work. Period. They can take a real pounding before you need a new one as well. There is the usual way to tie them where you cut the hair. But you can also tie them so the tag ends face forward over the eye of the hook. Then you bend it back over towards the bend and wrap it a few times. Saves the mess of cutting. However the cutting allows you mix colours better. If you dont know what i mean, its a very similar method to tying the "Tom Thumb". You can google it. The only difference is you are using teh technique to make the head of teh bug, not the body. Its a little different for the bass fly but you'll figure it out. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
