I will let the experts give the best answer but I would wait until May 1 to come. You will be in the middle of pre spawn to spawn for most of the crappie.
Thank you sir,jaxQuote:

But then again it depends on the water temp. Lot of us guys on here will keep it posted. But then again, when there is not a lot of talking on here is because people are out there catching fish.
Best to check first with Army Corps or Steve Welch, a local guide. Talked to him on Saturday (13Feb) and he said the lake is still 9 ft above winter pool.
I too am a local guide.Quote:
