DC crappies

[panfisher]

With water temps heading up, I have started picking up some blue gills and crappies at Utah lake.

Is anyone doing any good at DC for them, taking our toons to Charleston on Tues.

Nothing much yet. With the water starting to drop I hope that it doesn't mess it all up again like it did last year. [frown]

Mess things up like last year ha ha ha. I'm sorry if I killed 39 perches in 5 hrs that was devastating to the lake ha ha ha.

I just hope the bass will come out and play more this year comparing last year when it completely sucked as well it looks like the mud kitties wont be that happy when I come to town.

DC has been slow for the most part so far this year. There has been a couple of good days where everything was biting. Then it shut off and nothing was willing to play. Seems that DC is becoming a night time fishing place, at least I have had better luck late at night.

'Spect they gotta jack up the Provo river flow some so the June suckers in Utah Lake can have a better spawn. Haven't seen Jordanelle lately but the last time I did it was way low so don't expect they'll try to maintain the level in DC at all.

If the water had stayed up you could have quadrupled that number. []

Yep the water dropping as fast as it did last year put a hurting on the fishing. I still caught them but they were scattered out all over the lake.

I am afraid that you are right. I pray that there is enough snowpack to fill the nelle and help the creek stay up for better fishing.

I dought that it will happen that way though.

I went up to Jordanelle Friday evening to visit family and the water was ridiculously low. It must be 200 yards from the Hailstone camping sites. Looking at the mountains I'm not sure where the water is going to come from to fill it back up either.

That's true. Just hope I won't be low like last year. Last time I check on the water level website it was 95%.

PROVO RIVER 51%

From the KSL snowpack site. Better do a better job of prayin'.

I'm trying as hard as I can but it isn't helping. [frown]

FFL check again 92% and dropping. Have lost about three feet of water already.

I tried to bite my on this one, but couldn't. I hope you are not catching numbers of crappie, white bass, and mud cats out of Deer Creek, because none of those are supposed to be there. That we even talk about em in DC really sucks, thanks to the bucket bios. May they all get whirling disease and spin themselves to death !!!!

I've been picking one or two crappie every now and then for almost twenty years. This last year I found a school that hung out in the same spot all summer and I caught sixty or seventy of them through the summer and into the fall. They were eating on the young green sunfish of the year and were pushing the foot long mark by the end of the summer.

Picked up a few mud cats last year and did my duty on the catch and kill rule. Haven't picked up a white bass yet.

Water is dropping fast enough to actually watch it drop while fishing.

DC and jordanelle are both in for a long summer. Seems like it's dropping at levels about a full month ahead of last year. Gonna be a puddle by August if things stay the course.

Sad to think about what it's going to do to the large mouth bass and crappie. I know it runs in cycles with the wet years, but it was sure fun while it lasted.

As far as the mud cats and white bass. Kill them ALL!

Wish they could do something about the carp too. Maybe after they get done on ul they can haul a few million pounds outta dc. If someone had the equipment and know how the could load them up by the semi loads right now on the north end.

Bass fishing is fair. Numbers seem comparable to last year, but size seems down already.

You mean 91%. This is looking nasty. 4% in a short time. Scratching me head.... Doesn't look good anymore.

I have also been catching crappies, perch, and an occasional blue gill for years, get rid of the cats and carp leave the rest, gives a good variety.
