Crappie on the fly...

IMHO, crappie are some of the very best fish you can eat.  They are also fun to catch, but have you caught them on a fly?  Next time you go to your fav crappie spot, take your 5 wt. armed with some size 12 Wooly Buggers.  Cream works well, but I suspect a blue or silver would work well also, as they crave baitfish.  I've never tried them, but I suspect a small clouser would work too.  Set the hook much as you would with a trout, just raise the tip, beccause they have tender mouths.  Use a sink tip, 3x or 4x leader, and have some fun with crappie...hook up with a slab, and have a good time!
