Yes, but most people prefer to fly fish for bluegill and bass because they are more inclined to hit topwater flies. As CP said, small streamers would be best.

There are times when a fly rod will outfish conventional gear. Like crappie on the bed or when they are shallow. Throw 1/100 oz jigs that make no noise when they splash down and slowly flutter to the bottom. Silent and deadly. You can cover an amazing amount of water with a fly rod because you spend no time reeling. I pour 1/100 oz jigs on a size 6 little nasty hook and tie either maraboo tail or squirmy wormy. Killer. I do not like to fish more the 4 or 5 feet deep with them.

Yep, that is the ticket! Nesting crappie definitely can be fished with a fly rod. As Death said, bluegills and smallies on a 3 or 5 weight are an absolute blast. Incredible fun. This past summer was a test of whether my carpal (both wrists) could stand up ok spin fishing without having surgery, and happily went well. This year I may breAk out my 3 weight. Topwater with a flyrod is a heart attack with every cast. Can’t be beat!
good luck with it!
