Someone posted pics of a dozen or so nice crappie, thru the ice, last year, from East Canyon. They SUSPEND during the winter, so look for marks on your graph up off the bottom. They can be anywhere in the water column, so watch for them. Use small jigs, tipped with spikes, wax worms, or half a crappie nibble. A bobber is very helpful, to keep your bait suspended, and to help detect strikes. Often times the bobber will just move sideways in the hole, so be aware. Just because no one catches them, does not mean they are not there. Even during open water, crappie are an enigma to most Utah anglers! Give it a try, you might be surprised, pleasantly !!!
