Looking for summer fun? Try poppers for panfish

Sometimes we head to the Hudson River, other times we head to a small lake we know that holds plenty of bluegills, pumpkinseed, or rock bass. Either way, I’ll make it a point to stow my fly rod and small tackle box stuffed with numbers 6, 8 and 10 cork or balsa wood poppers into the boat.

When he saw me coming, he cheerfully greeted me. After returning his greeting along with a bit of small talk, I asked him what he was asking for his boat.
