Hey guys,
I live in Richland. Saw a post about Snake River crappie saying is was really good in moving water. Where is that? Are there any in the lower snake?
Thanx in advance for the help, I would rather catch crappie than anything, but have little experience at it.
I'm a wannabe.
The state record white crappie (2lbs 12oz) came from the lower snake. I've yet to fish a section of it that didn't hold crappies. I fish the middle section the most.
Sent ya a PM.
the state record came out of the burbank sloughs which is part of the columbia, it wouldnt surprise me if it came out of one of those ponds you have to walk into. not sure of the story.
slabking it would be nice to see a section in your website about fishing the snake!!!:)
Hey Fowlguy. I have three trips to the Snake planned for May and June so I hope to get a bunch of pictures so I can add a Snake River page to the site. I'm also working on a new site that will include downloadable videos and a few other surprises.
PM sent.
Correct about Burbank sloughs...Tough access on that water. No motors allowed and bank access is tough, mostly cattails and bullrushes surround the entire area. Some guys will use a float tube to gain access.
If you don't mind, let me know what times you plan to be there. I am hoping to go some time in June as well. Maybe it will be the same timeframe.Quote:

About how many hours is the drive over there?
How fast do you drive?:D It can take up to 6hours if you're pulling a boat and take your time. In a car going 75mph most of the way....about 4-5hrs. I'll leave Seattle at around 1am and get there as the sun is coming up.
the beauty of the snake is you wont see many boats out there. That has to be the most underfished body of water in the state.
I guide for warmwater fish on the Snake (Brownlee Reservoir). Great fishing for crappie and cats.I run my trips out of Richland, Oregon on the Powder River arm of Brownlee. The reservoir is down about 50' now in anticipation of heavy spring runoff. Lots of snow in the high country this year. The resv. should start filling in May and be close to full pool by Memorial Day. Check with me for current conditions before coming if you wish.
i have always heard that brownlee has some good crappie fishing. i have thought it would make a fun trip during the summer. what months and fishing methods do you think are the best for crappie out of there? thanks :)
ps: those are some nice slabs on your website ;)
wow there are some nice crappie and catfish down there thats for sure! wish it wasn't so far away or that gas wasn't so expensive
I am going to see if Greyhound will tow my boat...
Been to Brownlee a few times and hope to get down there again this summer and again in the fall to mix some fishing with bird hunting. Also went a little farther south on the Snake near Weiser and caught some good crappie and nice channel cat. Its all good.
