The Gapen Poplar Sphinx is a large moth-style fly built to imitate sphinx moths and other bulky night-flying insects. Trout and bass that are looking up will move a long way for this kind of meal.
Fish it on the surface along banks, under overhanging trees, and over still water at dusk. Cast tight to cover, let it sit, then give it a short twitch. Be ready — takes on a big moth pattern are often violent.
A specialty fly for evenings when big fish want a large target on the surface. Tie one on and work the banks.

Fishing Tips: Fish the Poplar Sphinx on the surface along banks, under overhanging trees, and over still water at dusk. Cast tight to cover, let it sit, then give it a short twitch. Effective during moth activity and anytime big fish are looking up for a large terrestrial meal. Use heavier tippet and be ready for aggressive takes.
