You wouldn't want any tips from me. I haven't set my butt in a Tuttle Creek boat since 1967. I remember it fondly as a fine crappie lake. My fishing partner, who owned the boat, was quite the crappie snob. Anything else with the audacity to suck up one of his minnows was junk fish. Oddly, I can still picture him, his boat, the steep banks of the lake, and cannot think of his name. he was the safety director back then for the Kansas Farm Bureau. I remember the tailwater being good for cats when it wasn't roaring. JGW
