PURPLE DAY - Panfish - Feb 27, 2012

PURPLE DAY

It was another chance to be out on the water. I had an early work day so I loaded the canoe the night before with all of the other stuff. I got up early in the morning and headed for the water since I wanted to hit the pond before first light to look for crappie. I had tied up some purple mohair furl tailed leeches, and I wanted to try them on the crappie.

How long do you usually make your leeches Rick? Are they basically twice the length of the hook shank?

You say that you two guys got into “triple figures.” He had 15 fish; does that mean that you took home 85 of them? Or even more?

The flies turn out to be about two inches long. I had over 90 fish to bring home that day.
This is a very fetrile pond.

Hi Rick;

Thanks in advance;
