How do you catch surface feeding Crappies?
Many times I have been frustrated by surface feeding crappies.
What is the solution.

Not doubting those are crappie but how do you know, if you did not catch any? I think your idea about using flies is worth a try. Try to find out what it is that is on the surface and try to match it. A lot of people use a clear casting bubbles with a pistol pete fly about 3 or 4 ft behind. Not saying it will work but it is worth a try.

Gotta match the hatch with this one. Usually crappie take streamers.
