Summer has finally arrived in West Michigan. What a great time to get out and enjoy some enjoy some small mouth bass fishing on your favorite stream or lake! Although bass can be very selective, the ruckus a popping fly causes on the water’s surface can trump color. Seeing a fish take your fly (popper) top water is one of the most exhilarating experiences of our sport. Have fun with popper…. tie it in several color combinations…. Including the colors of your favorite sport teams!
