I fished the Duck Creek arm of Grand last weekend. We caught crappie from 3' to 6' deep. Not a lot of fish, but some nice ones.

Tracker,
The chartreuse material is Danville "Depth Ray" yarn. The black is black metallic punch yarn.

The Jitterbee is a good bluegill fly. Here is a similar pattern that has worked well for me. It is called the GW Bug.

My first waders were neoprene. I still have them, but haven't worn them in years. The reason is that no matter how cold it is the neoprene waders make me sweat, which in turn makes me cold. I now use...

Clock152,
It was good to meet up with you and your family today. We had fun, even though the crappie were small. It beat working or battling for deals on Black Friday, lol.

When I tie peacock herl bodies, I tie in a piece of wire with the strands of herl and twist it all together before wrapping the body.

Looks good, but the title is misleading. That looks more like a spinner than a dun, since duns have upright wings. Nice tie.

I use the foam indicators with a glow stick instead of the peg that comes with them. You will have to drill the hole out so the glow stick fits.
Steve

stick,
I'm sure that will catch some fish.

jiggy,
They were caught on a fly created by Terry Wilson called the "Bluegill Bugger". I fished it about 3 1/2 feet under a strike indicator, letting it bounce around on the waves created by the...

I went to a local reservoir yesterday evening to try for some catfish. We caught them there around this time last year, so decided to give it a try....

Pete,
Thanks for the advice. I got a digital camera for Christmas and am still learning how to use the macro function. Some of my fly photos have turned out better than others, LOL.

Here is a simple pattern that I have caught many crappie on, as well as other species.
