Hey Del. Crappie on the fly are a blast! I've got a real
simple fly that seems to work. I use a size 12 2x long hook (or even a 10) and
tie in a little bright yellow marabou tail, no longer than the shank. Bright
yellow chenille body, and two short rubber legs tied in at the eye, on top of
the fly so they sort of flare out on top like a helicopter.
Just cast it out and let it sit and slowly settle in to the
water. It sinks really slowly. Wait a minute or so and twitch it back
in.
Crappie can't resist it.
Good Luck,
Dan

The
dogwoods are starting to bloom here in SC, which can mean only one thing,
CRAPPIE TIME !!!!!
I have
never gone for crappie on a fly (intentionally, have caught a few while
bream fishing). Any suggestions on gear, leaders, flies,
ect.....
I plan on using a 5 wt that I bought as
a set just the other week for $20.00. Its a med. action Shakespeare, nice
rod great reel, for the price. No drag though, but it does have an exposed
rim for drag control, and is all aluminum for strength. I got a WF5F line on
it. I got a few sink tips and some 7-9 ft
leaders.
I am open for any
advice.
