anyone hit Brownlee yet or anytime recently?
The wife and I are planning our annual "return home" trip in May. We'll be staying at Woodhead and cant wait to hit the crappie. what's the outlook for bass this year? i have fished it for 20 years and it seems the bass and crappie cycle over and over. some years it's 10 inch crappie by the hundreds, but then there is that one off year when you catch 15-16 inch crappie all day. Same thing with the bass. a bazzilion 10 inchers, and that one off year where you seem to catch every 14 incher in the river.
Depending on the weather we plan on doing at least one day boat trip all the way down to Mt Man, crappie point, the hay fields and the like, but plan on spending most of the time further north. and if i have my way about it, we'll load up, drive down and launch on the oregon side and bass fish Oxbow.
