Show Notes: wetflyswing.com/444

Presented By: Waters West, Daiichi

Steve Potter is here today to dig into deer hair poppers and walks us through the steps in choosing the right hook for the next fly you’re about to tie. We find out the best resources for fly-tying materials including some tips on how to tie bass bugs.

Steve tells us why he likes it better to live in Florida than in California and where his go-to fisheries are in that area. We also find out how his signature cigar and hummingbird fly came to be… do they really work on fish?
