T M,

Your "funny" asks a question I never considered. Me, I just thought this fly was a hybrid slider and was satisfied with the answer I got "it's for smallmouths".

Don't know if it really has a name either.

I wasn't joking when I said it was a cross between an olive woolly bugger and a popper. Now.. the popper head is reversed so its a slider.

Thought it might just be the thing to fool bigger trout who thought they'd seen (or bit) everything.

I read in a Warden Lake fishing report where this one guy used a rubber frog for trout.
