In honor of New Years with bottle popping champagne and the best water to fish for panfish, “foamy water.” I would call it, “Foamy Homie.” Matt, thanks for the great videos! Im excited to get my family involved in the contest!

I have tied a very similar pattern. It is simple to tie and very productive fly in my box. Seeing a bass or pan fish take the fly...well, that never gets old.
Hi,Matt and Happy New Year. Nice, fun bug for panfish, which we have lots of down here. My name for it would be the Champagne Popper. Thanks for another fun video.
Happy New Year Matt. This thing is going to pack fish into your creel. With this being mainly green and yellow. The fact that I’m from Wisconsin and a Packers fan. Also the b(ass) kicking the Vikings took last night. I’m going with “The Packer Popper Plopper”. 🤷♂️
ERAL said “Lemmon Drop” and I agree. The Bass and Bluegill love yellow poppers. I think this is going in my fly box. Thank you Matt and Happy New Year.
Happy New Year Matt. I hope it will be a good year for the channel and all of your fellow fly tiers. I like the pattern, I have no panfish to use it on but if I did, I would definitely want this in my box. I'll call it "New Start Bug". Happy fishing!
Since tormenting panfish is what I do most these days, I can see this is gonna be a great year! Given the fact I'm seeing it on New Year's Day (After the NYE parties), I'm thinking "Hair of the Dog" is fitting. (LOL! You might have to explain that one to your fellow judges.) Thanks and Happy New Year!
Hope your you & your family had a good Christmas and happy new year, looking forward to many new videos this year. I'd call this one "New years lightning bug"
Good morning Matt. ☕️time. Looking at that fly I’m thinking it’s a new year and everyone starts out with New Year’s resolutions that are often short lived. I’m going with “Good Intentions”. Neat bug and enjoy these contests. Take care Matt. Need a ☕️reload.
Good one John! And I'm happy to say, my resolutions are still intact. Except for walking on my hands. I'm going to learn to do that in 2023. And I haven't yet started. :-)
Happy New Year!!! Hope it's a great one for you and your family. I have no idea what to call this one... but since has sparkle and I think of bass fishing in summer...lemonade popper???
I may be dating myself a bit, but based on the colors of this one and the recent passing of one of the greatest soccer players ever, I'd call this one the "Pele Popper". Looking forward to another year of Name the Fly Contests.
Good afternoon Matt. Greetings from East Texas. Hope you and your family have a great year this year. As I am getting back to fly fishing and fly tying. Your knowledge and information is greatly appreciated. How about " the Texas Panfish Whopper Popper ". Again Thank you for your dedication to fly fishing and fly tying information.
Hey Matt, color me aquateuse but your bug looks like a LIME TICK POPPER for 2023. Looks fun so it will be my fly TO TIE for next week. Have à safe and adventurous new year.
Hey Matt Happy New Year to you and your family.Hope it is a great one for you and my wife and I are looking forward to some great patterns this year.For this one maybe “Matt’s Hangover Helper”as it’s always better out on the stream or lake than lamenting you should not have done what you did!
Fantastic fly, I’ve been tying these and similar for years. I usually round the tag of foam that sticks up at the front. What brand of wax is that? Thanks for the video.
The "Incredible Hulk"😤🤢 Bluegills don't wanna make this fly mad! You and your family have a blessed New Year Matt! Great tie, kinda like a Micro Gurgler, Steve @blackflycreations

A very happy new year to you Matt. Just back from a week in Rome with my wife and the kids so wishing you and the fly the Dolce Vita.

Happy New Year Matt. I hope it will be a good year for the channel and all of your fellow fly tiers. I like the pattern, I have no panfish to use it on but if I did, I would definitely want this in my box. I'll call it "New Start Bug". Happy fishing!

Not me Chris! I love some Skittles. :-)

Happy New Year Matt!
Thank you my friend!
Happy new year Matt. Hope all is well. I'd go with The Whopper Popper. Bass would wallop that.
Happy New Year Matt great little popper how about "New Year Glitter".
Happy New Year! I'm thinking the "Canary Gelato". Who doesn't like a bite of gelato.
Oh, heck yeah Nich. I certainly do! :-)
Happy new year! A great name for this fly would be the "Shiney Hiney Yellow Walker".
Happy New Year! Enjoy all your patterns!
How about the Crystal Hangover.
Nice one Dale! I like it. 🤣
Happy new year Matt. Looking forward to this series. How about calling this one "the resolver"
Oh, this is kind of cool Brian! Kind of a mix between Resolution and Revolver. :-)

Happy New Year!
Hairy Hopper
Nice one Ella!
Happy New Year! I looked at the colors and thought "Super Sonic." Probably the only one, though!
Yep Tom, I think you're the only one who said Super Sonic. But I like it. :-)
Happy New Year everyone! Looks like a "champagne toast" kind of fly to me.
Nice one Denise! I like it. :-)
Happy new year to you Matt and this one should be the "2023 panfish getter/ killer" great looking in any color
Nice one Gregory! I like it.
First up Matt happy new year to you and your family I think that you could call the fly Matt's Mongrel seeing you came up with it's design
I like it Darrell! But I only vaguely altered the design, which was originally altered from Jack Gartside's Gurgler.
Nice fly. They'll eat it. Given all the New Year's resolutions about losing weight and such, I'd call that fly "Bluegill's New Diet"
Nice one Kevin!
Green Lantern!! 😍😍😍
