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

willows are willow trees--You know!!!

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

So are these willows dead trees that have fallen or still live ones

A willow can also make one heck of a switch! My dad taught me that one...the hard way.....not so fun fact of the day!

Willows are still alive and growing at the water level.

Thank you very much XXL

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