The Crafty Micro Popper - An Experimental Fly
The Crafty Micro Popper is named for its craft fur tail and small size. My favorite thing about this fly is that it is small enough to cast with a 3wt rod but moves enough water to attract medium and sometimes even large (2lbs +) fish. The original inspiration for this pattern is partly from the Red Fish Slider and some of the more popular shrimp imitations I have seen for saltwater flies. I tie another fly called the Crafty Slider, but it has either bead chain or dumbbell eyes instead of a foam head, and it is considerably larger.
