Fascinating conversation. Both "generations" and "crappie". As for
crappie, as of two days ago, I was still catching them on a fly rod
and chartreuse poppers.

Crappie on a fly rod???????
Wow! I wish theyd do that here in Alabama...We have to probe the tree-tops
and cover to find ours. Stil lots of fun with a "cane-pole" and minnows!
