My experience isn't as gloomy as some others on here. Any fishery could be better, but I've had some good trips this year catching keepers at EF. Sure, I catch a lot of shorts, but I've caught quite a few in the 9" to 12" range. I do agree with chauc in that size limits may not be a good idea especially if you have a strong population of crappie. When you're working on population growth, size limits are rationale, but crappie population is not an issue at EF. The catfish population is not an issue either, and in fact I keep a couple of those each trip.
