Species	Rating	Size	Baits, Method, & Location

Crappie	Good	.5-1.5lb	Good numbers of harvestable crappie are available to anglers. Best fishing should be in the Spring near cover on jigs and spinners. Summer fishing would be best using jigs and/or live bait near standing timber, the same for Winter.
