Crappie fly fishing is becoming one of the most popular game fishing in the United States. You can see and reach all about crappies on most fishing. While crappie fly fishing tournaments have been going on in many places with offers of great prizes.
Most fishermen focus on the spawning of the species because this is the time when the crappies are easiest to find and catch. Actually they do not stay in the same location for a long time. But once you are able to locate them, you are sure to be able to fly fish them easily.
After ice-out, crappies tend to work their way into the less deep ways, usually on the shallower waters of the bay. Do not think that they are swimming in because they intend to spawn. Actually they swim to the swallower waters because they will feed on the bait fish, which are also brought in these waters because of the warming temperatures.
Usually, male crappie creates some nests by cleaning the sand bottom. The same thing happens if they try building the nest near the aquatic vegetation areas. Female crappies do their part by laying the eggs. Then they would simply swim away. It is the male crappie that shows more concerned by guarding the egg nest, and eventually the young fish until they are old enough to be left alone.
Crappie is such an unpredictable species. It can be abundant for some years and afterwards they will just vanish like they have become extinct. This is the reason why if anglers are having hard time fly fishing for crappies, they would just stop altogether.
