Black Crappies At Horse Pond
so i pulled out the fly rod and the yak to go to horse pond and get a little fishing in this evening. id done well using the color purple so far this year catching some largemouth, so i tied on a purple and white fly that immitates a small baitfish, and threw it in by shore and on the outer edge of some lillipads. i caught one decent crappie in closer to shore, it was about 10 inches and weighed just under a pound. the second one i caught off the edge of a group of lillipads and hooked another black crappie, and this one was much nicer measuring in at about 14 inches and weighed in at 2 pounds. after that the bite seemed to shut down, and i caught a few pumpkinseeds, but it still wasnt a bad night, its always good to get out on the lake and relax a little.
