They have been in Blanchard Lake for a few years now. I hear that they are in McWinnegar slough outside Kalispell and are definitely in some of the lakes west of town along US 2. Idaho panhandle lakes are good for Crappie from what I hear. We haven't gotten into them in good enough numbers to keep enough to eat. They are tasty. They tend to be a schooling kind of fish. Most of the fishermen around here that actively pursue them fish them at night in the winter through the ice as they apparently are more active during those times.

I've only heard of one or two places with illegally planted crappie over here. Always make plans to go looking for 'em, and never seem to get around to it. You catch the crappie west of the divide?
