Hey fastribs - I'm not sure what it is you are asking here??    Are you looking for patterns for tying your own poppers or just looking for what's available and sources?

Bass Pro Shops has an excellent selection of poppers, hair bugs, frogs, mice, foam spiders, minnows/bass streamers, and other terestrial bass flies by Betts, Fly H2O, Umpqua, Accardo & Pecks, and their own brand name.

That would be a good source for commercially available flies or for ideas from pictures to tie your own!

Yes, I agree with you 100%.  Bass on a flyrod/popper rig is an awesome thing!  You couldn't ask for a better fight when you tie into a scrappy smallie with a limber flyrod!  It is rocket science either and is a really rewarding way to start learning about flyfishing how-to.

cider i was catching largemouth in a samll pond in upstate pa using my trout panfish pole not even a heaver fly pole and i am looking for any suggestions on patterns that i can tie especially a bluegil or sunfish pattern crayfish pattern or a dragon fly pattern that is really easy and doest take much time since my skills are very limited i just started tying recently and mostly to nymphs and streamers simple ones till i get the hang of it but thanks for the info ill look it up

Okay fastribs, I understand now.  I had a feeling that is the info you were "fishin" for!  Be patient.  I am working on an idea to add a board to this section where we can post recipes for fly patterns along with pictures and any tips on tying them.  It would be kinda cool to compile all that in one area so that we can have a reference to go to for some of our favorite flies as well as learning of new ones!!
