crappie are in the rideau system locks

[swampsinger]

Got my first couple of crappie meals this week. The top fly "yardbird bugger". I caught them in the tail race of the dam rather than the lock channels.
recipe
White marabou tail , polar chenille pearl, grizzly hackle, red glass bead, lead wraps, counter wrapped red uni wire.
size 6 mustad salmon hook [sl53ubl]
Stripped thru current seams on a clear intermediate line.
