Betts Hand Tied Popper did well even after getting clobbered multiple times by fish! Fish were liking the pattern. But, I had to eventually swap it for another fishing fly. Bett's Poppers from Walmart
Out and about for a quick trip fly fishing a pond... One-Handed Spey Fly Fishing style! Using a 175grn OPST Commando Head on a 4wt, 8ft fly rod and fishing a Betts Hand Tied Popper. No need to cast far but was good to know a distance cast was at my fingertips! How many fish this round... three!

One last fishing trip with the old Cortland Fiberglass Rod, and then it will be putaway to closeout the series. What's next,... "Getting Started in Fly Fishing - Amazon Fly Fishing Challenge". Ordered a Fly Rod/Reel combo for $32, delivers this week. Do stay tuned!
This round I take the old Cortland Fiberglass Rod that has no drag except for the reel clicker and palming the reel to the local pond for Bass. Rod has a slow action making it really bendy!
Another video snippet of the effectiveness of this combo. Popper catches fish'. Fly Rod casts well even over the shoulder, too! #flyfishing #fishing #pondfishing
