Title: Heinricy Lake Crappies?
Post by: DrCro on Jan 02, 2019, 02:23 PM

I know the other Colorado fishing site says there's crappie in there yet when I look at the stocking report I do not see crappie stocked but carp and whatnot.

I know the lake is 6feet deep, never really fished it. Has anyone actually caught a crappie there?

Yes, but it’s closed to ice fishing.

I stand corrected.  I was going off Colorado fishing Atlas, but others have said it’s fine.  If you like super small fish, and a super shallow pond... ;)

Yea, it's definitely ok for ice fishing, spoke to the CPW officer lady and she told me I am good to ice fish it.  The 6ft of water and small pond works in my favor as I enjoy catching small crappies, I just want to catch one through the ice. Unfortunately I am not off till the weekend and the weather will not be in my favor, I plan to hit up the northwest mountains this weekend anyway.

Thanks for the response.
