I have very good luck with the Carter's Sculpin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxc3azavAv8 designed by Carter Nelson while he ran the fly fishing operation at Callaway Gardens here in Georgia. Tied in all black, it's great fro large bream. Tied in bright colors, it work's great for crappie. Jim Smith

I found the you tube presentation a bit difficult to follow. I checked around and found this version which I think is easier to follow. http://www.warmwaterflytyer.com/patterns6.asp?page=12.

Yellow Conehead Marabou Muddler has also worked very well for me.

Chartreuse microjig tied on 1/80 or 1/100 jig head. Under an indicator, you can vary the depth of your presentation and still fish slow...which is exactly how crappies like it!

I like this one also... It is easily tied, and incorporates a lot of color to catch the eye of the crappie.
