Regardless to where you live in the US, Canada, or Europe you are going to be able to find a number of panfish species living in your local waters and they are an absolute blast to catch on these tiny Walt's Panfish Popper fly patterns! Whether you are targeting Bluegill, Sunfish, Brim, Warmouths, Pumpkinseeds, Bass, Perch, trout in ponds or lakes, or even Carp, these little balsa wood poppers float like a cork and can take a beating from scores of fish before needing to be retired! The flat face of the Walt's Panfish Popper sends up small splashes as it is jerkily stripper across the surface of the water while the frantic popping calls all of the fish to the table! All of our panfish poppers are tied on size 14 hooks.

Panfish
Bluegill, Bream, Crappie & Sunfish all go nuts over these poppers. Great feathering colors and very sharp hooks. I highly recommend them. I prefer the ones without the white legs.

Smallmouth Fun!!
We fish these poppers on the John Day river and Umpqua river in Oregon for smallmouth bass. They are real producers, especially after spring runoff when the water levels drop and more terrestrials are out an about. Casting these against the bank and weed beds will produce some very visible strikes in shallow water.
