I fished atom poppers at night with a dropper for years. usually black and white dropper. I liked the atoms cause they would sink slowly. In the day tiem you work them agressively on top (a whole art in itself) but at night i like to let it sink just below the surface then a small tug to get it to break the surface and call attention to my fly.
Anyway , it works great.
Funny thing is that many times I would catch fish all night and have guys come over and ask what I was using. When i held up a popper they would say "Oh , poppers don't work at night" (this after seeing me catchong with it when they were skunked) . I could never figure out what they were thinking .
