Black & Red Pike Popper

No comments yet

Surface or topwater fishing for predatory fish is probably the most adrenaline-fuelled kinds of fly fishing. Whether it's giant trevally, sailfish or tuna in salt water, or if you practice the freshwater fishing for pike, bass or musky, the take is always what makes the heart stop or skip a beat. In this video we have the skilled fly fisherman, fishing guide and fly tyer Jesper Lindquist Andersen behind the fly tying vise to demonstrate a super simple popper fly. Note that you don't need beautiful custom-painted popper heads like the one Jesper has made himself and uses in this video. A simple foam head works just as well. It is more the movement and the way the fly splashes and attracts the attention of the predatory fish that is important, but it does not hurt to have beautiful flies in the box that catch both fish and fly fishers.

Hook: Ahrex PR351 Light Predator Barbless # 6/0
Thread: Black GSP
Taiil: Black bucktail, black flatwing hackles, pearl Crinkle Mirror Flash and red grizzly hackles
Head: Foam popper head - in this case custompainted with gold flateyes and varnished

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
