    Search "Ricks favorite Crappie patterns" here on FAOL in the panfish archives.
    Also search the boa yarn flies and the Goldie Jr in the FOTW archives.

    Default Crappie pattern

    Micro-jigs; black, white, purple, etc. Tie in rubber legs on either side just behind the head. You can control the sink rate by changing the length of the rubber legs. The longer the legs, the slower they sink.
    Later in the year when the water is warmer, Clouser Minnows in size 8 and 10 on Tiemco 200R or Dai-Riki 270 hook. Lead eyes for deep water, otherwise bead chain eyes. Favorite colors: chartruese/white, grass green/white.
    Good Fishing,

    I prefer "Crappie Candy" and an olive chickabou fly I came up with.
    My granddaughter, Sam, who pan fishes circles, squares and triangles around me every time, always uses an all white balsa popper with a red front cup.
