Sneaky Pete Popper

The Sneaky Pete Popper is a versatile and highly effective fly, designed for topwater fishing, and is particularly popular among anglers targeting bass and other predatory species. Created to be a subtle yet effective popper, the Sneaky Pete has a unique shape and structure that allows it to sit low on the water’s surface, making it less intrusive than other poppers.

Use a "Walk-the-Dog" Technique: This technique involves creating a side-to-side motion with the fly while keeping it on the surface. While this is traditionally used with surface plugs, you can achieve the same effect with the Sneaky Pete Popper by adding quick, short strips to move the fly laterally. This method works best when fishing around structure like fallen trees or vegetation, as it mimics the action of an injured baitfish trying to escape.
