Crappies are really turning on in my area.
A cessation in the cold and rainstorms has allowed the local waters to clear up a bit, and the water is starting to warm up again.
Here’s some fishing pictures from this week:
My 2nd fly-rod 13" Crappie of the year:
Here’s some other Crappies, many of them have some big bellies on them:
They are starting to get the black “spawning color” around their heads & throats:
Also caught some chunky bass:
And this BEAST Green Sunfish!
What fly are the crappie hitting?
Thanks.

Microjig. AKA “Springbrook Wunder”. Mine are tied on 1/80th or 1/100th oz jigheads. I’ve been setting them about 12" below a strike indicator.
Here’s what the microjigs I tie look like:
Fantastic pair of fish, Dave.
Good looking jigs. Thanks, Dave. I’ve got some #8 red sickle hooks with 1/64 oz. heads. Going to make some thing with them.

nice fish and jigs/flies. Conagrats
Ohhhhh yeah buddy!!! Very nice fish!
HMMMM - could you do those killer jigs with bead heads or cone heads. I know yo don’t get the “jig” action, but that;s what I have in stock!

Those are some nice looking fish. That sunfish is definitely a BEAST!
Nice report! Ditto on the Beast Sunfish! I need to get me some of those micro jigs. It has to be easier than tying basically the same type fly using barbell eyes.
Barbell eyes have many very practical uses. But the microjig will ride horizontally in the water, even when suspended completely still under the indicator. Catching fish on these is so easy…I am afraid I may be getting spoiled.
