Gunnison Bend and DMAD
#11
The largest crappie I have ever caught was 16.5 inches but I consider 12 inches a nice crappie and anything over 12 I consider exceptional. Every year I make a trip up to Brownlee Reservoir during the new moon in June. This is a large main stem Snake River Reservoir and has a huge population of crappie. The crappie go through a 5 year cycle and at the top of the cycle you will catch 14-15 inch crappie with a 16 thrown in every now and then. There is no limit on the crappie in this reservoir and never has been. I believe the only fish that have a limit in Brownlee are the black bass. The DWR in Oregon and Idaho have recognized that many of the fish species in Brownlee are unmanageable and need harvested in large numbers to minimize the effects of the cycles.

That might have been to much info......
