Very good. If I ever learn to cast one of these things, I'll try them out! :D
Dixie, Great looking fly. Never tied using mylar before, your instructions make it look easy. Guess I,ll sac up and tie a few.

Either way. Whatever the fish are doing. Fish it straight line unless they are suspending.Quote:

Casting a fly "like that". Single haul, crisp back cast and make sure rod loads your slack line b4 coming forward.
Crappies seem to like any "sparkle" type fly, looks like a minnow "flashing" when using a slight twitch (to get a flash) and pause on the retrieve.
an imitation of a Brook Silverside minnow. That's those little pencil shaped minnows you see skipping across the water, and leaping about along the shoreline. Light green across the back and a white lateral line, with a see-thru belly. All the flash & sparkle of the fly, also resembles a small Shad. Either one of which is "el primo" Crappie bait ;) ... so I see no reason why a Crappie wouldn't jump right on one of those flies !! :D
