In this video we have the skillled flyfisher and flytyer Jake Villwock owner of the shop Relentless Flyfishing to demonstrate another one of his favorite “must-have” patterns from his flybox. The Pred Popper – a very versatile type of popperstyle which can be variated in small sizes for for smallmouth bass as well as big sizes for stripers and other predators. The colors can also be variated, but the green/olive or blue is the favorite colors.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
