Crappie?
Went out in the lake in the back yard today. About 50+ feet off the shore the lake has tons of bottom changes. Haven't really fished it much until I got my kayak a couple of weeks ago. I caught one Crappie trolling along, but there was some type of fish that kept breaking the surface of the water. They were all over this one area! Top water would have been best but the only thing I took with me was a beetle spin. Could these have been Crappie?

There's no telling what those fish were on top, but Bluegill and other panfish will do this whenever there is a "hatch" of any sort. We had some warm weather for a couple of weeks, so maybe something was hatching(bugs).
I, too, am getting ready to start chasing some specks (crappie) with the kayak. After this cold snap they should start heading in to shallow water. I'll be fishing in the Clermont chain, mostly Lk Louisa and Lk Susan.
Oh and Bluegills on a flyrod is quite possibly my favorite fishing. LOVE IT !

Yep!, just go out in a grassy area, not on the asphalt so you don't scuff up the line.FlippinWorms wrote:Went to Walmart...they have discontinued there fly fishing stuff. When to dick's and got a kit for $40. Is there anyway to practice with out the fly? Kinda like when learning how to cast a baitcaster.
You can also tie on a piece of yarn as your fly, that way you can keep track of where the fly lands and you won't hook yourself.Silverspoon wrote:Yep!, just go out in a grassy area, not on the asphalt so you don't scuff up the line.FlippinWorms wrote:Went to Walmart...they have discontinued there fly fishing stuff.
