Default Poppers

Can I still use poppers, this time of year? The weather is in the low teens now. Any frogs this time of year

Can't speak for "Poppers" but I have been having excellent success on 1" foam hoppers and beetles for the past couple of weeks - and floating backswimmers in still waters.

Personally I like the double hopper-dropper-popper. Try it next time you're out spinN'flyfish.

Especially for stocked rockies!! But I find they're most effective for the native bass in the southern ab reservoirs!
