if you really want to be impressed. be there when they shut down the canal. lots of people salvaging fish. It's been a few years since i was down there, but i remember an Amish family once that had 2 large mouth in a five gallon bucket and it was so full, i don't think there was any room left for a crappie to fit in there. Lots and lots of carp, but i have seen some 15-16 inch crappie netted from the receding canal.
I never participated in the salvage, i would rather catch them on a pole, but it will give you a good idea of just how many nice fish are in Lake Lowell.
In 04 or 05, we caught 5 crappie in 30 min by the bouyes on the lake side of the canal outlet. all were over 15 inches, 2 were over 17. unfortunatley, i used a cheap taxidermist and it fell apart after a few years. when the water is low, you can reach it from the bank.
