G/K's wanted to go back to Brownlee again, so I obliged (okay, they twisted my arm).
The catch rate has improved a little as did the size. Length did really change much, but the fish seemed to have more girth. Just before leaving I found a new spot where nobody was fishing and the crappie were stacked in there thick. One of this I pulled out of that school was shaped like a big bull blue gill. I'll probably go back again next weekend and work on that school for a while. I suspect there are some bigger ones in that bunch as they probably haven't picked over as much.
Reservoir is filling quickly. Came up between 6 and 10 feet in a week, I'd say.
Part of what has got me going that way is the wind forecasts. There has been very little wind at Brownlee most of time (so far at least). :-)
