When you intend to do some crappie fly fishing, it can be helpful if you know how to differentiate the black crappie from the white one. There are actually two types of crappie, the black crappie, so-called because of its dark color, and white crappie.
You may be able to recognize the black one when crappie fly fishing by checking on the gray or deep black spots that usually covers most area of the fish’s sides. Also, the black crappie can be distinguish from the white one because of its seven to eight spines found the top if the fish’s back.
White crappie, on the other hand, is much lighter than the black one in color. It usually has some vertical lines of color gray that extends down to the sides of the fish. The dorsal spines are less than that of the black one, normally around five to six spines.
But appearance is just the only area where the two differ. Both black and white crappie have similar eating and spawning patterns. However, many crappie fly fishing enthusiasts have observed that the black species love clear water, while the white crappie love to swim on muddy waters.
