I really like that ultra-lite stuff with the mylar wings and is there that much difference in pop gear?

My pop doesn't have any gear.

yeah if I was older than dirt I would have lost the gear on my pop too

Ouch !!!

just kidding old man sometimes I feel like one my-self I am a little stumped when comes to lake washington just wanted to know what the most effective pop gear was

I like to change up often to see what's working best for the conditions. I tend to fish ultra light, so I go with thinner blades that produce less drag. Sometimes I'll go with the big ford fender types, other times I think the fish (at least the bigger smarter ones) keep their distance, and a more subtle approach works better - like dragging a fly or small rapala.

Same here. But I'm not a gear man,I just like to fly fish. Jim S.

I am usally a gear man but I have a couple of special place's that I only fly fish and you don't have to work to hard to get the big ones

bet ya i could name a couple scrawny!

maybe your own places 99%of the time when I'm fly fishing I'm the guy on the lake

I normally do not use pop gear.

I don't think the choice of blades is as important as what you are offering behind the blades.

I only use pop gear on lakes that are either very stained or if nothing else is working, as a last resort.

I know you are supposed to use silver blades for clear water and copper/gold colored blades for water that is dark or turbid.

Pop Gear? Pop Gear used to live down by Seatac twenty years ago! He tied some of the ugliest flies you've ever seen. He had a nice wife. Ugly gal, but one hell of a cook.
