    Default How do you fish receding water?


    So with the corp pulling water through the dam at Truman how do you fish for crappie? Are they now away from the banks in deeper water, suspended, or does it affect them? What's your experience from last year when they pulled water for weeks on end?

    I haven't done well with it. A friend found a tree line out in the main lake.
    He fishes jigs and tosses up stream of the trees and moves it with the current. The crappie are in the strutcture waiting for the bait to move through.

    I think they will often sit very near bottom in 12-17' of water, and want a slow moving bait. Minnows might be best bet

    Hello. My personal experience has found the crappie tend to just get out of the current. Usually small cuts or creeks that are just off main lake right out of the current have been great. But remember with the spawn winding down the fish will be out of sorts for a bit. Also side note a few years ago when the current was crazy the crappie were way back in the creeks. Hope this helps
