Good gracious did I have the fortune to experience a fishing extravaganza last night! I took my middle school fly fishing club to Legacy Lake in Lee's Summit, Missouri, last night and it was absolutely bananas! Between the five of us, we easily caught over 100 fish. While most of the fish were small crappie, there were some other species mixed in which made it fun. This was a stark contrast to getting skunked last Sunday. It was nice to get on one of those "catch a fish on every cast" rolls. On this particular lake, the crappie were in shallow water and right off the dam. We caught them on a variety of jigs under indicators and it didn't seem to matter what the color of the jigs were. Most bites were pretty aggressive and even the small fish put a bend in a 4 weight fly rod. It would be even more fun to go after them on something lighter as well!
