Im looking for a couple of popper flies for my box.
Can anyone recommend a good one or two?
Only ones that have caught fish please?
A pic would be great too!

Re: popper fly
Have a look at http://www.oceanflies.com
Used them before quite cheap with cheap postage to Ireland,
The Banger works well, had quite a few on those at dawn and dusk
