Can anyone tell me about poppers that are used to fish for trout, explaining exactly how you use them to fish?

Question

do you use a floating line or a sinking line etc? And does anyone have an opinion about the usefulness of poppers in catching trout?

Answer 1

poppers creat a feeding noise in the water which attract the trout. i use sinking line. when you use a popper jerk your line every 20 to 30 seconds. hope this helps

Answer 2

I just wanted to say hello and let you all know about my fishing website.

Answer 3

Personally i don't like them, to me there is fly fishing and then there is using a big lure on a fly rod, i have to say that poppers fall into the later category, poppers should be fished on a  floating line for trout on at least a 7/8wt rod as anything lighter and you risk snapping the tip due to air resistance of a huge popper. Ive tried them a few times and have had allot more fish on dry flies than poppers, plus the feeling of watching a trout take a dry fly is way better than using poppers.

Answer 4

Use floating line! They are designed to stay on top of the water. They are also more of a bass fly than for trout.
