I would like to pass this on to you guys in the state of Oregon the snake River is noted for crappie fishing many people from Washington state California and throughout the United States come here to fish this is the reason why I moved to this part of Oregon because of the fishery for crappie here but on a sad note they've been draining the reservoir down every year which is costly fluctuation in the fishing for crappie in my life I caught thousands of them I give up many things to fish for them like the above I no longer go hunting or do I go fishing for salmon or steelhead in the state I even give up fishing for bass so I can fish for these little guys that we call the crappie they are my true love and only love for fishing I hope already rank them number one throughout the US and they are probably the most popular fish there is for a wonderful enjoyment fishery throughout the US we only hope that many you support the fishery throughout your stay and keep it going for future generations of young people that will be coming into fishing in the future I can't think of any better way for a family to enjoy their self and going out for the crappie is you know is American pastime through this spring and early summer months you could thank your lucky stars that we have a site like crappie.com to enjoy with other people that has been a blessing for me I've met so many interesting people on here they are dedicated jig makers and plastic bait makers and also dedicated fisherman that belong to this site I for one highly recommend this site to anybody is about the best thing that we have in America it's a wonderful thing the Internet in the computers that we enjoy every day and coming here to see what we have to say and to enjoy each other's hobbies such as making plastic baits and tying jigs there is so much information on the site for this hobby for you to enjoy so guys keep a tight line and please support the crappie fishery and your state.
