    Cool Watts Barr Lake Crappie

    We went down 2 weeks ago and again this past weekend 4-23**4-26. Catching some big fish! Numbers were down but what we caught were really nice crappie. The spawn seemed to be winding down a bit but the water level raised a couple feet overnight and the cold front did not help either. Good news is the crappie are still there just have to work a little harder to get'em.

    Was down there 5/1 - 5/3 and the females still had eggs ... males were nowhere to be found ... and the fish we caught were suspended about 15-20ft down in 25-30ft of water & moving to the backs of the creeks. All were White Crappie females around 12-14" long. All were caught slow trolling/spider rigging 2" stinger shad bodies under 1/2oz weights at 0.5-0.8mph.

    If it wasn't for the forecast of 80% chance of thunderstorms, I'd be back down there this coming weekend !! Water temps were 64-67deg and the lake was less than a foot from pool & slowly rising (ten days ago).
