My dad and my uncle used to love to fish for crappie because there was no
limit and you could literally bring them in by the boat load. They knew a
man who owned a 10 acres or so lake that was over-run with crappie. I fished
with them too, although I have always preferred dry fly fishing for trout on
streams.

My mom never liked them because they are not easy to clean - tough scales
like carp. If you dip them in boiling water, they do clean fairly well.

I remember them using a special wet fly - seems like the body of it was made
out of chamois and it had a small yellow feather. Some weight - not much
just enough to give you a little control.

Brings back good memories of rainy Washington days spent hiding under a tent
with soggy sandwiches waiting for a weather break. I remember learning to
play the guitar or playing cribbage while waiting to go out and fish.

Rock on!
