I'm not an experienced crappie fishermen but will give you a few ideas.
A friend and I caught a few at Twin Lakes earlier this month while fishing for bluegill. None of them were very large though. I haven't fished Glendale this year but I know a few people have caught some there this spring/summer. Unless you get lucky and find an area with a larger school of crappie I wouldn't expect to catch many crappie. If you are looking for some crappie to eat neither place will likely produce enough for a meal. If you do go to either place for crappie I would recommend you bring back up tackle for trout, LMB, perch or bluegill.
Crappie nibbles should work. I've caught bluegill, perch and trout on crappie nibbles as well. If I had to choose one thing for crappie I would go with a small tube jig tipped with a worm or 1"-2" piece of night crawler. Live minnows are illegal bait in Idaho so I wouldn't recommend them.
Good luck.
