    During the spring and early summer, various species of juvenile salmon, called smolt, make the great migration from freshwater to saltwater. These small salmon travel in large schools as they try to find refuge in numbers. Along this journey, they are met by voracious predators including trout and char. These trout and char love to push these small salmon to the surface where they will slash through the school, forcing the smolt to "bust" the surface trying to escape. We call this the Smolt Bust. Throwing poppers and sliders designed to look like salmon smolt is a very exciting way to crush trout and char on topwater.  Using Rainy's Pee-Wee Pops is essential to creating Popping and Sliding Smolt. Use them with long shank hooks steamer hooks or tie them stinger style, either way you'll have too much fun busting smolt for trout!

    The Fish Skull Fish Mask from Flyman Fishing Company are a great way to easily add eyes to streamers and baitfish patterns, both big and small. Fish Mask were designed as an alternative to using epoxy to build up heads with eyes. To use these masks simply tie the fly that you would like to add eyes to. Choose the right size Fish Mask and Living Eyes or other adhesive eye to match and the fly pattern. Place a drop or two of zap-a-gap or super glue on the head of the fly, slide the Fish Mask on over the hook eye and seat it onto the fly head. From there, you are ready to roll.

    Fish Skull Fish Mask sizes match up with the same size Fish Skull Living Eyes. For example, a size 6 Fish Mask matches with size 6 Living Eyes. Not using Living Eyes, no problem. The Fish Mask sizing correlates to the size of adhesive eye in mm, meaning a 10mm adhesive eye fits onto a size 10 Fish Mask.

    Quantity of Masks per pack: #3 (12); #4, #5 (10); #6, #7, #8.5 (8); #10, #15 (6)
