BilletHead Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Here is 23 of my new friends and I am inviting them to dinner! What a hoot I had today. Hit a place on the Sac River this morning armed with the kayak and fly rod. I will tell you this is skinny water well above Truman. Started looking and found them in two different places. Not in thick brush and not in big logs kind of in between sized wood. You had to hit the sweet spot and when you did they would slam and darn near swallow the fly. Slow strip or just drift the spots letting the current do most of the work. Just used two flys. A big eyed small zonker. Actually it is tied with a stinger hook. My favorite color for a crappie wooly bugger. Pink bead, white center and chartruse tail. A bit of flash in it too. All fish were 10 to 12 inch fish. I caught a bunch of shorts too. I don't know if they just quit biting or I caught them out of the spots but when they shut off no more bites. Also caught a white bass, channel cat, spotted bass and a blugill in the same spots.

Ham Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Nice fish. It isn't very often that I've caught crappieo the fly, but it's a good time for sure. 23 is more than I want to clean in one sitting. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
ollie Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Sweeeeeet!! I haven't been on crappie like that in a long time. "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
Bird Watcher Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 you're the man marty. a stringer of slabs on a fly rod. you never cease to amaze:)
ness Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Goldurnit, that looks like a fine meal right there. That's right at the tippy-top of the fish list in my book. John
BilletHead Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks guys, one of those time when everything is just right. I was the only one there, quiet and peaceful. If we could get a small river raise off and on those fish will be there all summer long.
