Can any of you Colorado Ice fisherman shed any light on catching black crappie in Avery Lake Reservoir outside of Meeker Colorado?

Used to fish there quite a bit but it's been a few years. Caught a ton of good sized sunfish but never any crappie.

I’ve fished it in the summer a bunch. Never caught any crappie but I do know they were illegally introduced there. Some really nice trout in there. The tail water gets a lot of action. I’ve always wondered about winter access. From Denver it’s more than a day trip so I’ve never made it over to ice it. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Try by the dam for crappie. From what I’ve heard the crappie tend to be small.

Went up there yesterday...never caught any crappie but did well on the rainbows. My son and I caught 12 and kept a few.....Ice is nice a thick.
