Lake rose about 7 feet when we were fishing for crappie, but managed 72 crappie in the 13-16 inch slot with two fishermen, four days. windy conditions but the fish were on the bank and used black and chartruse jigs tipped with crappie niblets. 8-10 fish per day in that slot was a good day for each of us. Several smaller fish caught but we were looking for the 1 1/2 pound to 2 pounders. Looking forward to visiting the state next year. Met lots of great people and never met a person that wasn't smiling!! Thanks for the hospitality!! Bruce
