    Default Willows


    Hello all. I am new to Crappie.com and look forward to sharing things. I have recently got into crappie fishing 2yrs ago but don't get to do a lot because of shift work and having a 23month old little girl who I love being with. But when I do go, I want to catch fish. I also enjoy deer hunting.

    I have seen posts about Shelbyville and fishing the willows or smartweeds.

    My question is what are Willows. I see stuff about flooded willows or main lake Willows and I don't understand it.

    Does anyone have a picture of these willows so I know what I am looking for.

    I know what willow trees are but I don't think that's the topic.

    Thanks

    A willow can also be stripped of inside bark and made into cordage......fun fact for the day!

    Willows are still alive and growing at the water level.

    I think the water needs to come up some before the willows will be in the water
