Troutfly and I went fishing specifically to catch crappie with a fly rod. I had no flies but Josh had a bunch of great ones. I picked a chartreuse and white clouser pattern and caught one on my first cast to my favorite brushpile. The crappie weren&#39;t really all that active it seemed tonight but we did catch a few on flies and I tried a PA at some docks. I did make one good cast under a dock with the fly rod and caught one there but for the most part I couldn&#39;t get good casts under the docks. I was fishing a sinking line and as always it was a pain to cast. troutfly is really good with a fly rod but I did struggle. We did fish a couple of spawning flats with the flyrods and did catch a few fish there. We caught a couple of nice very black black crappie. troutfly said he had never seen the crappie when they were so black in color. It was a lot of fun to catch crappie on a fly and we brainstormed about how we can make our presentations better and also fish for some bass later in the year on the fly. I&#39;m really glad that you were able to get out there with me Josh and hopefully we will be able to get out there again soon. troutfly has a pic. We&#39;ll post it later.<br /><br /><br />
