I think you live over by Richland don't you? How is the res. doing for crappie and cats this year? Saw that photo of the chest of crappie. Most my crappie came from Prineville Res. and pretty much destroyed it last fall when they ran it out of water. Thing was pretty MTY with just the water running down the river bed. They are getting some crappie out but sounds nothing like it was. Good luck with them over there!
I've only been out twice for crappie. A week ago I fished hard for 9. Yesterday we stopped at 34 and left them biting. I expect pretty good fishing late summer and fall. I haven't fished for cats yet but it's always good once the water warms.
