I like catching these pan fish, but I would really like to catch some yellow perch. last year this time I was catching yellows at Marshy Hope Creek from shore. Might be from all the rain last year. Attachment 59221

Andy, are you catching those crappie on the bottom this time of year? I might try this weekend up here in Pennsylvania

Panfish on a fly rod sure are fun. You should try it, Andy!

No I am catching crappie only about 18" from top of water in about 6' of water. In my opinion crappie are always looking up to feed, never down. I never fish on the bottom for crappie. But that is just the way I fish. Some people probably catch them other ways.

Yes that would be fun, and I know I could catch them with a fly rod. Thanks!

I agree with Andy on crappie feeding up. I think a more important factor is the deepest part of the lake you fishing. If I remember correctly it's 10ft deep max right?

[Ajv5148]

thanks Andy! Pa, they say 20 something deep but I doubt it's still accurate. heres the map photo

Aj I meant the lake Andy fishing is Max 10ft deep

Yes I think it is the deepest water in this lake. I don't know for sure because i have never been out on the lake in a boat. I did say 6' but it could have been 10' at times.

Crappie with a Max Depth of 10ft are definitely a lot easier to find than crappie with 20ft range.

agreed. should be interesting but I'm going to try

I agree with that. You need a good depth finder and in a boat for them kind of lakes.
