Here is a fly I made up to go after some gills a week ago. Was pretty suprised when I started to catch crappie on it, this is the first year I am planning on targeting crappie on the fly. Ended up with 6 crappie and a bunch of bluegill. Crappie came on a long strip then pause... as it sank, I'd see a flash of silver and set the hook. Gills were all over it if it landed anywhere close-bye.
Only had 2 hours to fish while my daughter was at a b-day party so thought it a worthy pattern... made up 6 more and put em' in the fly box! :D
Mayflies are on the hatch here in Ohio....... will this pattern last with the crappie? - AtticaFish
