About the Red Hot Chili Popper

Old school saltwater style popper. Great for seatrout in the salt, and bass in rivers, lakes and ponds. I love this fly in the Fall and Spring for mornings and evenings. I tie this in a size #4 hook, but you can scale up depending on your target species. This is also a really fun tie because I use the Gary Krebs Popper Jigs set in 3/8", 7/16", and1/2".
