Thanks for all the great info. So it sounds like there's definitely a good population of crappie in there but has anyone been able to specifically target them through the ice and have success? With all the active trout in there I can imagine it being hard to target the crappie because both crappie and trout like to suspend.
I think it is disappointing that the tigers have put such a dent in the crappie population. It sure would be nice to have another place besides Pineview to catch some good sized crappie. Even though the dwr didn't put the crappies in there I agree with fishguru73 that they are a great food source for the trout. Another argument for the crappie is that neither the rainbows or the tiger trout are native species either. How many trout lakes do we really need? Crappie taste soooo much better than trout do.[fishon]
