This time of the year there is a very real chance of picking up your best fish of the season. To do this though you have to search out the weed beds and look for where the bigger fish are busy trying to pack on weight for the coming Winter. This popper pattern when it smashes down onto the water is sure to get the fishes attention and as it is pulled back will get the predatory instincts fired up. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a big bow wave behind the fly. Speed up your retrieve then stop and wait for the inevitable hit and hang on!”
