I have never seen a time or place where Crappie were caught in abundance on flies.

I would say that Clear Lake is the most famous Crappie fishery that I know about in California.

40 years ago I worked in a bait shop and in the spring. We sold 20 dozen very small "Crappie (size) Minnows" to two guys who came in with a big ice chest and aerator headed for Clear Lake.

I always want to know more about Crappie fishing with a fly rod.

There are tons of YouTube videos about Crappie fishing now with light conventional tackle.


In my life time I have caught a 'ba-gillion' bass and panfish on a cast fly but only a few Crappie.



Here is a link to a bunch of YouTube videos about fly fishing for Crappie:

I guess I should be watching them all?
