Hi Wayneb,
Uncle Jess is a wise, wise man and I have to agree with his response. Try breaking into subsurface flies with a dropper fly off your Gurgle Pop (my favorite fly too. BTW). Try tying a size #8 or #10 Wooly Bugger about 18-24 inches off the bend of your Gurgle Pop! Fish the Gurgle Pop normally and set the hook if the Gurgle Pop moves strangely or just disappears. You won't be disappointed. 8T

Backstabbers tied in green or black. Gold barrel eyes with a grey poly dubbed body, rootbeer krystal flash and green or black marabou wings. Been getting LM,SM,rockbass, perch. blugill, sheephead, carp and creek chubs.

Been doing pretty good on poppers (green and yellow) with size 12 BHPT as a dropper. Bluegill have seemed to be hitting both. Caught a 18" catfish on the BHPT dropper as well as a 16" bass. Go fisure, biggest fish of the year so far have been on a trout nymph dropper.

Backstabbers? It looks a lot like a Crazy Charlie, or Gotcha. I tie small versions of these for bass and bluegill. They work great, especially in Crawfish colors.
