A good night of crappie fishin'

[pointingdogsrule]

Went out to a farm pond and was having no luck until I switched to a black nymph fly. On the first cast they started hitting. After about 15 casts I had these crappie. I left cause I kinda felt guilty taking so many and it was so easy. Better to leave some for next time.

Kind of ashamed to put these after Buzz's halibut post.

good luck to all

fish for dinner?

Thats some good eating there. Fry them & some taters up with some Cajun seasoning grab a cold beer & enjoy.

Nice fish, looks like the start of a fine dinner.

Where I lived as a kid we caught those all the time, man that was one of the best eating fish out there. Now I can't even remember the last crappie I caught.

Those are some nice crappie...nice colors and markings.

I lived in NE Iowa for a good portion of my life and I sure do miss the fishing. Not that I can complain about the fishing here, it's fantastic (no crappies though).

Love those crappies. Used to catch them all the time growing up in Oregon and Idaho by the hundreds. Never that big tho. Now when i visit we go to Brownlee or Owyhee Res. Brownlee really has some nice ones now, 12" isn't uncommon there. Great eating and fun for the kids to catch as well.

Nothing there to be ashamed of; those are some nice slabs.

I agree.... the best eatin' fish from a pond that you can catch, especially in the winter.
