    Default Montrose Lake

    Used to fish it in the winter, be snow on the ground and we would wade out in the hot water discharge with hip waders on and cast 1/32 jigs in the current and catch lots of nice crappie,,,,, then the great MCD put stripers in, there goes the crappie, last time I worked over there we caught some dinks at the intake (illegal) but had to try it anyway.......

    BEAGLE it is a generating lake. Has awesome catfish and bass fishing but the crappie are all stunted and little these days. Real shallow lake also.
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    thanks greg, I was talking to a guy that fished up there and he said it looked pretty good for crappie, but didn't elaborate on what he was fishing for.
