Nice looking fish, and fun on the limber rod. The Bass should be easy on the fly rod this time of year, but the Crappie may be pretty deep and a little more difficult to catch. Keep after them though, pics are great!
Been slamming the gills lately with the fly rod having a blast!! My goal is still to catch a crappie and a 1+ pound bass on it! But for now these are fun and good practice!

There is a local pond that they put crappie in that hang in cover by the bank year round. Pond is only 6 feet max depth.

some pretty looking catches you got there.
Some good looking fish. Anything caught on a buggy whip is fun, and the bigger ones memories stay with you a long time. I’m slinging a 4wt I just finished putting together, and need to use it more when I’m out. I started with some very cheap equipment, and fished from a canoe. Threw a betts or accardo popper bug into some Lilly pads one morning and a 5lb plus LMB just hated it and had to have it. My biggest so far, very surprised that the junk I was using held up, and fresh in my mind like it was yesterday. Enjoy and keep us posted. And try a little streamer about 2” for the crappie and LMB. They do well around here.

That must have been an insane fight!! I have a cheap Pflueger starter rod/reel that is says is a 5/6wt. Tomorrow I'm going to tie on the big minnow looking fly and try for some bass and crappie in a pond. If no luck I'll switch to the hand tied flies Binfordw sent me. I need to get some streamers and clouser minnow flies still.
The hardest part is keeping the blue gills off the flies!!

Looks like fun. It reminds me of being a kid and teaching myself how to cast a fly rod on a local lake. I caught many small sunfish with a black gnat pattern. Makes me want to dust off the old rod.

Addictive for sure. Without a doubt, there are times when nothing out fishes a fly rod and bug combination!

I have two 5/6/7 weight fly rods I bought on clearance years ago from Academy. I just purchased a few fly reels to mount on them. I have never thrown a fly rod but I am willing to learn. Now that I tie my own jig/flies I want to catch a fish on a flyrod. Looking forward to having a blast with it.
