Tex,
I fished Brownlee on Saturday. Crappie are hitting yellow and chartreuse curlytails.
:grin:
The Mountain Man Lodge used to rent houseboats, but they are out of business. You can buy the place cheap I hear!!!

My nephew got one nice bass, 15" long, but other than that the smallies were all dinks. His buddy got a 24" cat on a piece of cutbait(crappie) . Look for water that is at least 58 degrees. I suggest fishing higher up toward Huntington. One of my friends fished 5 miles farther down than we did, and had a tough weekend, 8 crappie in 2 days.

Message me if you need any more info.

Thanks Mojo for the info. I tried to private message you but it didn't work. What depth did you find the crappie at? I will be fishing the upper end of the lake and the powder arm also Is there anything speical to look for when i start searching for these slabs?

No Crappie reports from Fishalot :tongue: however I will give you a report on how I did on the lower Willamette. My two boys and I put in at 1:30 and with in 1 hr Landed a 13.5 Hen, she clobered a home made rainbow spinner. She made 3 long runs and a few leaps :shocked: boy did she try to shake that hook out.My boys did not want any part of that rod [img]graemlins/icon_argue.gif[/img] the older one did a good job of netting the fish, we went home happy at 4:30 :smile: :smile: :smile: .
