The popper fry concept we first saw in angling publications, It was Nigel Savage from Rutland water who we first saw with this pattern in angling publications many years ago. Steve Cullen famously won the English national Fly fishing championships with his version of this fry in and now with a few tweaks here is our tried and tested Fario version.
