Hi Need a Big Striper, 1st question, what type of popper are you using and how big. Baitcaster and I do some fishing up there in early sept, and usually get them on all pearl shads with 3/8 oz jig heads, we also use a dropper teaser fly on 25lb test flourocarbon leader. Alot of times the fish may be feeding on smaller bait so you may need to match the hatch, in color and size. We also do well up there with blue and white 7/8 oz & 1 1/4 oz Atoms poppers or 3/4 oz Chrome creek chubs. Another good one is the 1 oz cotton cordel pencil popper, in chrome and blue or chrome and black or mackerel. Give these a try and we wish you much luck, let us know how ya do.
