My 8-year old and I took out float tubes out to Cassidy for a late afternoon bite on the perch. We worked the edge of the lily pads just to the north of the boat launch, and it was non-stop action. Made to order for the smaller anglers, The fish are all small, and (almost) everything was released unharmed, although I think that lake could use getting those perch and crappied thinned out a little. She had a ball, but the coolest part was a pair of eagles perched in a dead tree next to the water. We took a couple of her perch and tossed them into the water under that dead tree, that that eagle was on those fish immediately. My daugher was pretty excited about it, not something a kids sees every day.

Hey cool report. I feed the eagles all the time. It is pretty cool incredible to see, I fish at Cassidy every night darn near. You were getting crappie, any size to them? I've been hitting for crappie and can only get 6 inchers. I use Bobber and jig pink and white tube with crawler tip.

I haven't fished crappie this year, but in the past, there has been a great evening bite when the crappie are up feeding on insects. I use my 4-wt rod with a floating line, and nearly anything you car to use will get bit. 90% of the crappie are under 6". I don't keep anything, but at one time that lake had a minimum size limit on crappie that hasn't seemed to help much.

Oh cool. Yeah I've slays wanted to use my fly rod. Ibalways see them boiling as soon as the sun goes down below the trees. Do you typically use a standard dry fly pattern like mosquito or whatever. Or do you throw a flashy streamer style fly. ? Tha.ks

Just nornal patterns. Something drab, not flashy. They usually bite until it's too dark to see your fly (or else all the bats come out and it gets a little weird out there in my float tube with bats flying around my head in the twilight....)
