Members Fly Is Life Posted January 8, 2016 Members Share Posted January 8, 2016 Does anyone know of any good spring time patterns I could tie up to catch crappie during March - June? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I used to catch a bunch in a farm pond with a simple hair streamer, but with nothing but silver tinsil. Don't ask, can't tell you why. Didn't catch anything else with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacknoseddace Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The clouser Deep Minnow is a #1 producer for Crappie and White Bass on Stockton Lake. Chartreuse over white or gray over white are my personal favorite colors. When the water is cold early Spring use a foam float on your leader to hold the fly stationary over inactive fish. When the spawn is on these flies really shine. Also, mini-jigs in 1/80th or 1/64th are great. Wild turkey gray marabou with a little flash is really good on both White Bass and Crappie. Walleye will hit these flies too, as well as everything else at the right time and place. good luck! marcus, unclefish and BilletHead 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolan Duffield Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 1/50 oz white, gray or chartreuse jigs under a float will work on a fly rod. You need to find the right depth to get bit. Adding some sparkle will help. Rolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Elam Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 These are great suggestions. Don't be afraid to tie the flies in various sizes and under most conditions, tie them sparse. There is usually a size and color that out produces everything else. A little flash is good, but just a little.

Amery Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The only one you need is a micro jig(1/100) with a white tail, chartreuse body, and a red collar. Fished under an indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fly Is Life Posted January 9, 2016 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thanks guys! I was looking up crappie flies and the crappie candy came up a lot is that a good one for this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members unclefish Posted January 12, 2016 Members Share Posted January 12, 2016 A note to blacknose. I never used flys like in the picture you show.My question is if you put this under a float would you be draging it back? Or leave it stationary.From the picture it looks like it would hang vertical if stationary. This all may sound dumb but like i said i never have used flys and just wondering.
