Does anyone have an update on the crappie at pineview?

Saturday night it was deader than a doornail in several bays along the south shore, both deep and up in the brush.

Willard might be better, but can't be more than a week before crappies at Pineview crank up.

Several posts on this in the last few days, so scroll down...

I have not been up there for a couple of weeks, but the crappie should be starting there spawn. The crappie in east canyon were making beds last Saturday.

i fished pv hard on saturday and tuesday in the north end and in the spring creek entrance with no luck. only a couple of carp. pretty sure the water is still to cool. but hoping by this weekend with the warm weather they will turn on.

Ya, something is wrong up there, I fished it today for bass and tigers and I only had one hit. The surface temps are in the 60 but it might be much colder only a few feet down from all the run off. I caught a bunch of crappie about a week after the ice came off. And it was pretty good for a couple of weeks after that. But I went up one day and could not find them. I always do the best just after the ice comes off. I don't usually even bother fishing for them this time of year. They get really tight up in the brush and make there beds, and I find it frustrating fishing if I don't find a big school of them.

Welcome to all you new members.

Pineview gets a lot of cold run off that delay it's crappie spawn well behind Willard and a few weeks behind East Canyon. East canyon creek flows slow and across open flat lands for many miles before dumping into EC, so it warms a little faster,
Pineview warms faster in the northern coves than the main chanel in the south part of the lake, again due to the large amount of runoff coming in from up by Causey.

If you want Crappie, Willard is still hot in the North Marina if your shorebound and in almost any flooded brush if you are in a boat.
