Fish-Skull® Captain Dubiel’s Pop-N-Fly™
What is Fish-Skull Captain Dubiel's Pop-N-Fly?
The Fish-Skull Pop-N-Fly is a revolutionary topwater fly system co-developed with renowned fly fishing guide Captain Gary Dubiel. This innovative design calls big fish to the surface with its unique popping action, realistic profile, and proven fish-catching ability in both freshwater and saltwater.
Who is Captain Gary Dubiel?
Captain Gary Dubiel is a world-renowned fly fishing guide known for his expertise in targeting trophy fish. His decades of experience on the water went into developing this pattern, ensuring it meets the demands of serious anglers targeting big game species.
What Makes the Pop-N-Fly Special?
The Fish-Skull Pop-N-Fly features a unique popping head design that creates maximum surface disturbance, realistic baitfish profile, durable construction for big fish, and versatility for multiple species. The design allows for easy customization with different materials and colors.
What Fish Does It Catch?
This pattern is deadly for tarpon, snook, redfish, striped bass, largemouth bass, pike, and other aggressive surface feeders. The substantial profile and loud pop attract trophy-sized fish that prefer large meals.
When to Fish Topwater Flies?
Topwater fishing is most productive during dawn and dusk feeding periods, in summer when fish are in shallow water, around structure where big fish ambush prey, and during calm conditions when surface disturbance is most visible and audible to fish.
How to Fish the Pop-N-Fly?
Cast near structure or in open water. Create surface commotion with sharp strips, then pause to let the fly rest. The popping action attracts fish from a distance, while the realistic profile triggers strikes. Vary your retrieve speed and pause duration until you find what works.
Where to Use This Pattern?
Fish the Pop-N-Fly in coastal flats for tarpon and snook, estuaries for redfish and striped bass, lakes and ponds for bass and pike, and anywhere aggressive fish feed on the surface. It works in both freshwater and saltwater.
