Today's menu for winter Crappie



Headed to a near by Lake for some winter Crappie fishing this morning.

The Coopers Bug for the win today. Snow, rain and hail to go with a 30 plus mile an hour wind. The lake was real high and muddy and I'm in shock I was able to find them and limit with the conditions that I had. Good 1st day of the year on the water .

I bet the orange nymph sized up a fuzz would be a steelhead magnet. Nice ties

Haven't tried it for steelhead yet. It does great for panfish, browns on Fish Lake in Chelan County and Cutthroat here on my home river the Cowlitz
