Fly Fishing for Crappie
Hey catbatt... how did you do this weekend? I Had time to go Saturday and the weather was too ugly for me! I've been fly fishing for years and I'm dying to try it on crappie. Any tips on how you go about it? For example do you use sinking tip line? What kind of fly? ... :p

Went out today (after the cold front). High of 67 degrees and mostly cloudy @ JPP. The bite wasn't near as agressive. We snagged about 12 with about 7 keepers over 2 hrs (5pm-7pm). Although minnows were thrown out the back of the boat with a floater, we caught ALL of them on red/chartreuse jigs with white & black heads.
Water depth was 3-6 ft.

of little ones in suggs creek.
