crappie growth rate

[Scoby]

We have a new lake near my hometown in west tn. It has been stocked for 3 years or so. It has just been opened to fishing. Any idea what the average size of a 3 year old crappie would be?

Depends on waters and several other factors such as stocking size. Should be atleast 10'' Crappie.

Not sure, I don't know Cane Pole.

it depends on what type of feed they have on the size they would be in three years.

If they make their living eating Shad, then I think you'd be surprised at how fast they'll grow. Was at a seminar once held by Todd Huckabee and he talked about the growth of Eufaula crappie and although I can't remember his exact quotes, the growth rate was really amazing if Crappie have quality forage available. You might want to contact him and ask him about it. I would think that a 3 year old crappie would be larger than 10 inches if they have good food available.

Normal average is ten inches at 3 years!
