If you're out of New Hampshire, we might meet up some day. I'm out by the sea coast and fish the entire lower half of the state to the Vermont and Massachusetts borders.
@@BendItFishing I've fished almost every water body south of Concord. I've been up on Newfound Lake once for ice fishing. Looking forward to trying your pattern once we thaw out.
Excellent tutorial thanks much. Question: Is the rabbit fur acting "somewhat" as a weed guard? Would think you'd get hung up constantly fishing close to, and actually in, the brush piles.
Awesome video. Im looking at some really cheap crappie rods as potentially budget micro spey option for learning to spey cast with lighter skagit heads. What do you think? I feel like it would be a good lesson in rod building if I could replace the guides with snake guides and add a spey rear grip.
@@BendItFishing Sorry I shouldnt have posted this on your crappie video, Id use it mostly for trout. The only thing actually related to crappie is the long jigging rod id get the blank from.
So crappie blanks and fly fishing rod blanks are built differently. It might work but usually the ferrules are more precise and the wobble of the rod is reduced because of the way it's made
Good job, enjoyed the show very much as did my grandsons. But, if you ever come to the Midwest, please don’t pronounce it crappy! Down here it is pronounced Crawppie. Thanks Y’all.
You can get a jig in tight on those logs pretty easily, just use a slender slip float and a plastic like the garland straight tails, the slender slip float is great for those up bites as she will just tilt sideways, not as fun as the fly rod, but can be way more effective if they are picky and hanging extra tight against structure, when there's ripple on the water I don't even work the jig, blthe float will keep that plastic just shaking on their face, if flat calm I always give it a little action on slack line just to move the float up and down in the same place and pause for 10 or 20 seconds
@BendItFishing lol. I grew up in South Louisiana but moved to Houston in 14. It takes everything in me to not say it when I talk about fishing for them.
Great video. I love fly fishing. Do you think you could do a closer video of that fly?
It's just a white cone head wolley buggar
This channel is awesome
Thank you!! Share it with your friends!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this
Thanks 👍
Just discovered your channel. Like the technical flavor of your vids. . .what boat is that?

It probably is a little bit.

Sounds really complicated for crappie, I would just use a poly leader. Maybe if you are fishing from shore

Whats the material for the tail and can i get it at cabelas
Thin sheet of fake leather, I think I got it at a craft store but Cabela's might have it
Many tying scissors have a notch behind the blades proper. That is the best way to cut light wire: including lead, without ruining your scissors.
This is so dope! I’m going to try fly fishing for crappie here in Texas. Do you have anything else on your like other than the fly?
Nope just a fly, if they are really deep ill put some split shit a few feet ahead of the fly
@@BendItFishing bettt!!
"you can do this in a kayak" whips out his vice, LMFAO
Haha I've seen a guy tie flies in a float tube
@@BendItFishing That's insane lol
What size wire did you use
.030 lead if I remember correctly
Those were some plump ones. Would have made a great fry!
Maybe this spring I'll go back
So where there’s bubbles there’s crappie?
Ive heard that but haven't confirmed it
Bruh a couple days ago I saw em eating bugs or something at night man if I had a fly rod I mighta slayed.
I've seen them eat fly hatches it was pretty cool and I saw them eat a fly ant hatch Thursday

Good technique!
It's "Sacalait" 😂
Haha I'm pretty far from there!
