Has anyone ever fished Creve Coer lake ? I was told by a friend a long time ago they use to pull them out pretty easy and some size to them also.
Im flooded out of my hole right now and though I might give it a try.

talk to some locals, you will be surprised what some may tell you... might even give up a honey hole too
Check on youtube. I think there was some videos of guys fishing there.
everything is flooded or going to be shortly. be carefull
Creve Coeur Lake is going downhill fast!!!!I go by there almost every day. NO ONE fishing! Most of the COVER washed up on the banks this winter and is being hauled away.
I use my Smartcast from the banks and in the last ten (10) trips I have found two (2) fis @ 11 ft in 13 ft of water beside a downed christmas tree. No on has replentished the Crappie cover in years!!! Not a pretty sight. The Missouri river backed up into the lake last year and filled it up with GAR (not a food fish). Good luck
Looks like the cover is being reestablished. Has anyone been out on the lake lately/recently?
Anyone know of some good lakes around Chesterfield for crappie other than Creve Coeur
I wouldn't eat anything in Creve Couer. Catch and release for fun but no eating. Creve Couer lake use to be a landfill a long time ago. I wouldn't be surprise if the mercury count is high in that lake. I also have a few folk telling me that the water there is polluted.
If it was a landfill what did they do with the garbage? Landfills are above ground.Quote:

I'm not sure, but overall I wouldn't risk my health or my family health over some fish. Fromthe top, it does look clean in some part but, can't really tell what underneath. I could be wrong but after hearing more than a dozen people who say similar things, I rather not eat from that lake. Do it at your own risk but I don't think its worth it.Quote:

Wilbur, that park in Munster Indiana has a small lake for catch and release, the fish there are very big and it was built on a landfill. I guess the more they eat the bigger they get.
