Anyone been to East Canyon

Does anyone chase Crappie at East Canyon??

As you probably know, there have been crappies in there for many years.  In fact, during a couple of winter ice fishing sessions in the early 2000s a lot of the bigger trout caught through the ice had YOY crappies in them.  But the crappies in EC are subject to the same vicissitudes of environment that crappies are everywhere.  They need good spawning conditions...like flooded brush or aquatic vegetation...to get off a good spawn.  Extreme low water in any given year makes for a poor spawn...and fewer crappies.  So...like many other Utah crappie ponds the overall crappie population is pretty low and generally not worth making special trips.  But, there are still some in there and I have heard reports of some 15 inchers.
