Addictedangler.. I used to do very well on crappie with the fly rod. Zonkers and basic white marabou streamers worked the best for me. I only fly fished for crappie till trout season came in so I was fishing shallow water. I was a fly fisherman for many years till 3 spinal surgeries sort of canceled my career. Can't wade or stand on a sloping bank very long so that sort of makes it impossible to fly fish. Still love to tie jigs, spinner flies etc. Thanks to the boat I can still get out there and wet a line. Take Care
