Good points John S.

In Lake County, Oregon there is a large sink (basin) near the town of Plush. There are two large lakes, (Crump & Hart) that have lots of Crappie. To the north of these two lakes are numerous small lakes that get water during good years from them. In these little lakes the crappie grow super fast and can provided outstanding angling. If this winter would have been a dry one most of the little lakes would have dried up and literally millions of crappie would have perished. Hopefully that will not be the case.
