Oh, yeah!

Willow Creek was great for crappie last year. It's also good for bass, bluegill, and bullhead catfish.

I haven't been over there this year; but, I understand that there is a health advisory for toxic algae. I don't know if it has been lifted yet.

When you passed by and saw it, did you notice if it was still fishable from the dock by the boat launch? I know that they draw the water down, but I don't know how far down is gets drawn. I would like to go over there in a few weeks but it's a long drive from Portland if you are banking it and can't fish from the dock or the bank.

BTW Best crappie fishing last year was just before dawn.

There is some big bass in there... Definately worth fishing if you drive by it...
