Moved to Kansas

My family and me recently moved to the fort leavenworth area. I fish from the bank and I hear Perry lake is the best place to catch some Crappie. Is this true? Summer is hard to fish from the bank but I would really like to catch some so my wife who hails from Georgia can try these tasty fish. Thanks.

Leavenworth county lake is closer and has a good number of crappie

Hope this helps - http://kdwpt.state.ks.us/news/Fishin...e-Fishing-Lake

I use to live in the Manhattan KS area for 13 years when we were stationed at Fort Riley.

I really miss the fishing there. Good folk out that way too.

Thanks.

Congrats to her for sure. Nice video Thanks for sharing

If you live in Leavenworth the Fort has some nice ponds, I used to do good fishing them when I was a Kid, of course that was a couple of Centuries ago.

Welcome to Kansas

When they are releasing water out of Perry you can have some luck fishing below outlet also.

Thanks.
