Crappie flies
I've been fishing Lake Winnebago near Kansas City for crappie in the past couple of weeks. I was really tearing them up on chartreuse/white clousers and pink/white buggers.
Anyone else have info to share on midwest crappie? I'm tying my own flies now and have a trip planned to the Ozarks in a couple of weeks. I have time to make some suggested flies to take with.

Re: Crappie flies
I've been catching a number of them this spring in a local pond. Wooly buggers have been very effective, particularly an olive bead head. Also white has done well. I've been tying a dropper to the bugger and fishing a basic nymph or wet fly to try to entice bluegills. I've had a lot of smaller crappies hitting the nymph/wet fly--some big enough for the skillet. Along with the bluegills and the larger crappies that hit the bugger, it's a good way to get a mess of fish.

Re: Crappie flies
I've found olive beadhead buggers with chartruese marabou tails to be very effective on panfish too.
