Crappie Flies

[lepomac]

Got a pattern, or recipe for one? I can't seem to find any online. Just places selling the flies.

It's basically a simplified version of a damsel nymph.

Marabou tail, shaggy dubbing and bead chain eyes.
For the hook, I like the MFC 7000, but you could use something similar, or heavier.

No hackle, no wire rib, no shell back, no legs, unless you want them.

Quick and dirty. You won't cry if you lose it either, so you can fish it in riskier places than you would with a masterpiece. Like logs and rocks.

Let me know how you do.
