Christmas season crappie


Tough decision today.  Either go pick up a Christmas tree and decorate it, or go fishing.  Had to really think about it... for 2 seconds.

It's colder now and the sacalait are bunched up.  Belle of the Bayou - my faithful collie and sometimes fishing companion - joined me in the canoe.  She's as good a fish finder as my Hummingbird. 

Fished 3 flies - Two Fluff Butts under a tiny strike indicator and a Silli Butt. Both worked near structure.  Fluff Butt colors were body/tail of olive/olive and black/chartreuse.  Silli Butt color was a body/tail of olive / chartreuse flake. 

Caught 17 sacs, all were released.  Yeah, they eat well.  But it's Christmas season and I'm in a giving mood.
