For the last 24 hours, I’ve enjoyed some very aggressive bass and panfish. And while I have no reservations using streamers, I’m more than happy to toss topwater flies if they’re what is on the menu.

Today I share some topwater fly tactics for warmwater fish. I discuss some of my preferred approaches to gear, to casting, to presentation, and to setting the hook.

But at the end of the day, getting out there and getting after these fish in the summertime is worth doing any way you want to and are able. So wherever you are, grab a handful of cork poppers and spend an evening at the local pond.
