DH, you think if the lake jumps up in the spring during crappie spawn, the spawn doesn't happen or the eggs just get washed away and never hatch.
Idk much about the spawn of crappie and how delicate it is.

I just figured the fish in Kaw just spawn in a little deeper water since the beds are under more water towards the end of spawn then they were when the beds are built. (If that makes any sense? Makes sense rolling around in my melon.)

Anywho, I've been catching lots of 4-8" crappie.

I always kinda thought that a flooded spring spawn would give the crappie more protection and increase overall numbers.

Thanks
