I would like to take my children crappie fishing in the Magic Valley Region. I have checked previous stocking locations and it has been quite some time since any have been stocked around here. I have talked to fisherman at Salmon Falls Res and have been told that they have not caught one in over 10 years. Are there any waters that have crappie in them in the Magic Valley Region?
Answer:
The Filer Ponds contain crappie that can be fished from the bank. We had reports earlier this spring of 8"+ fish. If you don't mind traveling and have a boat the Bruneau Arm of C.J. Strike Reservoir is also a good place to try. Bliss Reservoir also has crappie but a boat is also needed to fish this water.
Call the Magic Valley Regional Office and ask for Doug for more information 208-324-4359.
