Hi Jeff;

Nice tie and great fish!

I too discovered the gurglepop's effectiveness this summer I must have tried half a dozen different top water flies this summer but by the end I ended up using this simple pattern exclusively. It catches lot's of fish and you can make it do all kinds of crazy things from suttle to a real aggresive pop.

It's hideously easy to tie and really catches fish! The funny thing for me is that I caught the most bass on a size 10 yellow gurgle pop with red tail that I tied for gills. I think one of the most satisfying thing was to actually wear one out! It must have lasted me three or more evening outings this summer and I can't count the number of bass and bluegills I caught with it before tying on another.

For warm water use I can't see why I need any other top water pattern.
