Currents

Crappie time. In south Louisiana, they're called sacalait. In northern parishes, they're called white perch. But everyone agrees they're a great eating fish and fun to catch on light tackle. And now is the time for fly anglers to join in the fun as the fish move from deepwater to shallows to spawn. Fluff Butts and Crappie Candies are always go-to patterns. Try them in black/chartreuse, pink/white, gray/gray, olive/olive, and blue/white. Fish them under small strike indicators near grasslines or structure, or fish them straight - count down then strip in. Other effective flies include Coyotes, Flasher Minnows, Silli Minnows, and where golden shiners are present, orange/red Seaducers.
