Fly Fishing For Smallies, Largemouth & Crappie: Possibl

Hello,

Fly fishing water(s) too far for me to drive now.

Was wondering: local Pond has Smallies, Largemouth, and Crappies.

Will any of the above three take a fly ?

if so, on the surface ? Or ?

What types, etc. ?

Thanks,
Bob

All of the above will devour flies! Smallmouth on a fly rod are a blast! Try this for some starter ideas:

Bob,

I noticed you are in Sudbury. The Assabet River and the Sudbury river both hold largemouth, a variety of pan fish, and, I believe, pike. You can catch them with a variety of streamers (muddler, wooly bugger, small cousers...and whatever else you have confidence in). I like to target them with frog imitations and poppers. These flies don't have to be big to catch decent fish.

Good luck.

Too far to drive ,eh.. I was going to suggest Quabbin Res..or the Chu /aka Wachusett Res. (gate 13/14/15.scarhill bluffs have PLENTY of casting room.Hit or miss out there,but it's fairly close to me.Real fish water ..you know it!.. buggers,popers,divers,muddlers,cray fish..all of the above will work.
