Gil Levesque Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Been a while since this crappie spot produced but today was the day! Tied on a clouser minnow hoping for a pike on the fly rod! 2nd cast and Bam! Fish on. Not a pike but a big fat slab! Couple casts later,Bam! another slab! I thought, man im on'em now! Guy who was fishin a bit down the bank runs up to where i am and stomps out on the dock to cast exactly where im casting to! Yup! Next dozen casts,when i could get a cast in, not a hit! The school spooked and....... gone! I was not happy! But i dont own the water! A bit later after he left had a nice little pike hit the clouser and chew it up! All in all a fantastic morning!

Gil Levesque Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 No. Just fishing a weighted clouser! Stop and go strip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Those must have been a riot on the flyord. For their size, I don't think there is a more vicious fish out there. I catch them on full sized spinnerbaits all the time bass fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Levesque Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 First one i caught on Jack Lake was on a Torpedo,while bass fishing! They do hit large baits at times! And yeah, it was a blast on the fly rod! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 i run into these things throwing cranks against rock piles in the kawarthas. I also like catching them through the ice, but to catch em on the fly rod would be the ultimate. Really really cool to catch crappies up shallow. I guess now is the time for that!

npt1 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I have been a fly rod guy since the mid 70's, bass fishing in the weed's and bull rush's , if there only 1 fish in a body of water, it would be caught on a fly rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
