It’s Crappie time! Dan did a post about 3 weeks back on one of our ventures out to El Dorado park where I caught my first Crappie on the fly. Ever since then I have gotten emails, comments, and have talked to tons of people about Crappie fishing in Southern California. Those sources have told me that the Early Spring and Late Fall are when the Crappie Fishing peaks (as far as shallow water fly fishing goes). I heard from one guy that he caught 19 in a couple of hours over at Legg Lake on Weighted San Juan Worm, and another guy told me that he caught the biggest one he had ever seen in his life at El Dorado last week. So, if you have never caught a Crappie, then get out on the water and try to add it to your life list. “Just be warned, there’s a reason they are nicknamed Papermouths!”
