EXCELLENTTPWD ReportFeb 25, 2026· Water: 61°F· Clarity: stained

EXCELLENT. Water stained; 61 degrees; 0.47 feet above pool. Crappie are excellent while fish are in prespawn patterns staging on brush and structure in 15-18 feet of water along the edges of creek channels. Female crappies are full of eggs. Forecasted warm days and nights should bring the females to spawning nests within the next few weeks. Live bait is best, but the smallest grape with chartreuse artificial possible will work. Report by Greg Culverhouse, Crappie King.
