A note from Debbie Hanson:
“The hot and humid July Temperature in Southwest Florida have had the Peacock Bass fired up on topwater presentations. Last week was no exception. This fish exploded on my foam #4 popper less than a foot from the shoreline. Distance and accuracy matter when fishing calm, still waters and getting these ambush predators to strike your fly!”
