Any report on Newton? Havent heard anything from there. I know a ton of people who fish it for bass, but I haven't been around any that have been over there. And, I've heard there are actually some good crappie in that lake. I've never fished it for them! Any word on that?

I was just alerted to this post and had 2 chime in. Neither one of the 2 individuals on the first page gave out too much information. There are zero locations mentioned only a ramp condition. Let's keep in mind that you still have to know what you are doing when it comes to the info they gave. Sangchris isn't a tie off and set around with corks type of lake and fill the live well anyway. You have to put in work like these 2 to be able to catch this amount of fish. It is still a 10 fish limit is it not? Maybe these guys should post if they actually filleted the fish, cause there is a good possibility they didn't. This is not pressure, come up to evergreen during the spawn and see the 200 boats in a lake not even half the size of sangchris. People are tied up to tress everywhere and it's been that way since 1997 that I have witnessed. But you know what it is still a good lake and you can't determine pressure by trucks in a lot because that isn't reality. Keep up the posts guys a lot of us wish we could get out there with ya.

Newton has been hit and miss on crappie according to a few guys I've spoken to. A lot of 9-10" fish just nothing worth bragging about. I am either heading there or sangchris this weekend since there is going to be a little warm up

Id love to head to sangchris tomorrow with my dad. But ain't got a clue what to look for there.. Haven't been in over 3 years but that's what makes it fun sometimes!

Look for Crappie scout and cropee7

i'd like to know what the water temp is and how much the lake came up from the snow melt.Last time i was at sangchris it was very low and the temp was only running around 48-52 up by the hot water ditch.I caught alot of short fish in 3-5 foot of water chasing bait fish.i think 50 dinks to 1 quality keeper. It was fun catching a bunch of fish but it's kinda nice to hook into a quality keep every once in a while then 1 a hour

Don't know what they boats look like. I'm sure we can snag into a few... But Hughes I heard it came up four foot with the melt.
