Despite my best efforts, I'm being forced to be a good sport and go on a trout-fishing expedition with a couple of buddies still too young to properly appreciate panfishing. 
They have elected East Canyon as the destination, and, hoping to salvage the day out as best I can
, I'm wondering if anyone can provide a little guidance on hitting the crappie up there?
Anybody know how? Is it even worth a try? Are they big enough bother, having only been stocked 5 years ago? My crappie experience in Utah has been limited to Willard (where I'm totally hit or miss), Pineview, and Utah Lake, and it seems to me that East Canyon is a quite different lake from any of those.
Where do I look? Shallow or deep? Likely to be suspended over deep water? I finally have a functional sonar, but it isn't much. What kind of structure am I looking for?
Failing crappie, who knows how to catch SMB through the ice? I'm hoping not to have to even TOUCH a slimer..................
