Crappie Fly

[Len]

Read an article on Chironomids and they are supposed to be a good part of the Crappie diet so decided to tie a few and try them after ice out...

Those look nice Len. I hope to be able to use the fly rod a lot more this year for crappie fishing. Hope to see some good reports on those.

Fantastic bugs - excellent work

They look sweet Len! Be sure and show us how they work.

Those are going to get eaten, no doubt! You have some skill..... can't even see any thread on those.

Been using something similar (that is a stretch, tiny/red/black is the major similarity) as spoon droppers and they are working fantastic. Not sure if you have perch around you close, but Bloodworms are a favorite of bottom feeding yellow perch also. I have been doing VERY WELL with catching bluegill on bloodworm flies this winter.

Those are clean! Very nice ties. Take a forceps..... cause bluegills are gonna inhale them as well.
