Umpqua Micro Popper Fly | Topwater Panfish & Bass Fly

The Umpqua Micro Popper is a compact topwater fly designed to create exciting surface strikes from bass, panfish, and other freshwater predators. Small in size but big on action, this highly effective popper produces the subtle disturbance and surface commotion that trigger aggressive feeding responses from fish targeting small insects, baitfish, and other surface prey.

Featuring a buoyant foam body and highly visible profile, the Micro Popper excels when fish are feeding on smaller forage or when a more finesse-oriented topwater presentation is needed. Its compact design allows for delicate presentations while still creating enough surface disturbance to attract attention from nearby fish.

The Micro Popper is especially effective around shoreline cover, docks, lily pads, grass lines, canals, ponds, and lakes where bass and panfish actively feed near the surface. Whether worked with short pops, subtle twitches, or extended pauses, the fly consistently produces explosive topwater action.

Tied with premium Umpqua materials and built for durability, the Micro Popper is a must-have fly for anglers targeting freshwater species with light tackle and fly gear.
