| Black Crappie
Description:Lake Powell's crappie are plentiful and responsive.
Schools often mass in quiet shallow brusn-filled waters, usually at
the end of canyons. There, and elsewhere, they may react to submerged or
topwater lures trolled or cast. A shiny bare hook will be eagerly
devoured if animated. But bright jigs, dollfiles salmon eggs and small
waterdogs are the best still-fishing baits. Crappie of more than three
pounds are taken from here. Their flesh is perhaps the tastiest of all
local fish. Individuals grow to such large size that one or two, pan-fried,
can provide a fine meal.
Bag Limit:20 fish
