too late for crappies on the Rideau?
I was planning a trip to Dog Lake for this week end. Is it too late for crappies up there? Has anyone been getting any?

Sorry. If anything, they tend to bite better after the spawn, but later in the day.........just before, and after dark; or early in the AM, just when the mosquitoes really start on you.
When the weather gets warmer, look for them during the day in "deeper" water, remembering, it's relative to the lake or river. Hunting is usually better near underwater "stuff" like sunken trees, etc.
Small jigs at dark, any colour, long as it's black.
S'all I know. Not much.
My sense of humour is tedious at the best of times.
