The Spring Box Series: An Army of Frogs

I tend to spend many an hour throughout the winter looking out the window dreaming about spring fishing as the snow falls like cotton-balls and the thermometer confirms the probability of frozen guides if I dare venture to the ice free stretches near town.  This is when every other guy/gal with a vise scatters materials across their make-shift and purposefully built workstation to refill bug-boxes and lose themselves in the memories of the fish those patterns once produced; gladly I count myself with that dedicated, day-dreaming bunch.

Yesterday, as we accumulated a few inches here in Fort Collins, I used my time at the vise to put down the first row of poppers in my box for spring bassin'.  Horsetooth smallies better watch out!!

Playing around with leg styles

This one reminds me of the Blue Angels that flew around the AFA in the Springs

I used Perfect Popper bodies from Wapsi on Mustad size 4-6 CK52S's

All designs are Sharpie with a coat of head cement to keep 'um looking fresh

Can't wait for these little puppies to get smashed along the shores and in the weeds around our local still-waters.  Next session will involve some spun deer hair poppers and a fistful of Clousers.  What do you keep in your Bass box?
