Thread: High falls & Indian Springs

Put in on Buck creek Rd troll all in there now is a good time for the crappie you know 9.9 motor is all you can use you use your big boat but only use the trolling motor

My fishing partner and I fished High Falls hard for crappie the past couple of years. We had good luck up until late February 2013. The last week of February that year we had a 3 inch rain storm. Since then the most crappie we caught in a day of trolling was seven keepers (10 inch or better). That was two people trolling all day with 16 rods. This past fall was no better. There may be others who have had great success but I'm just relaying my experience. I have finally given up on HF for the time being. As for Indian Springs the fish run pretty small but they can be caught. I had to bite the bullet and move on to greener pastures. Currently, DNR is drawing HF down to perform dam repairs so who knows how that will impact the fishing. I talked to a DNR biologist about the state of HF crappie and he said the numbers appeared to be good based on the netting they did this past fall?????
