Rainbow Flowage Dam Tail Race Crappies

Fished last three mornings in the tail race right below the dam. First morning was a trial outing using just jigs with various body types and colors. Decent success over two hours. All were C&R. July 4th morning. Used crappie minnows below slip bobber, mainly. Even caught some on 1/16 oz. jig with chartreuse body, 2" to 2 1/2". Caught 40 off fishing deck, kept 7 nice eating size. All in 2 hours. This morning 40 more caught with 13 keepers in 3 hours. Minnows and chartreuse bodied jig doing the trick. And, be ready for surprises like an random walleye, northern and sunnies. Still roe in females.
