Balsa Popper Gets 13 Bass This Round!

Windy day but did manage to get out and do some fishing.  Fished Bethany Lakes; went with the Four Weight Fly Rod and Red Balsa Popper.  Liking this one a lot; added some Living Eyes that we picked up from Cabelas.  Guess the fish like them!  Going to need to make more; down to one in Red (really beaten up, too) and one in Black.

Having Fun On a Saturday!

Fished the morning and caught fish; went back this afternoon and caught more fish. Started out at Bethany Lakes, then went to Murphy City Hall Pond, and then went back to Bethany Lakes. Caught Bass, Bluegill, and Sunfish.  No Bruisers but still a lot of fun!

Balsa Popper Again This Round

Another variation of a Balsa Popper.  Have tried two others this past week; this one is based on the "Old Marm Popper".  Made one many years back and did well with it in a pond back in Rhode Island.  Decided to give it a go at Bethany.  Caught Bass and Bluegill with it.  Of the three Balsa Poppers, would say this one was the easiest to make!  Would say the next ones we make, will apply a coating of epoxy instead of clear fingernail polish.  The fish really put a beating on the little popper; epoxy would definitely make a difference.
