Crappies in Northern Colorado

Crappie are all over the place up here, and the quality of the fishery in each places varies quite a bit from year to year, so it's hard to guess where the best crappie fishing will be. The ponds around Fort Collins and Lovelend, and Boyd Lake are all decent places for crappie.
 
The quality of crappie fishing are subject to the laws of supply and demand. Where the big fish are biting, angling will naturally tend to increase until numbers and size are reduced, then angling will decrease, and crappie numbers and size will increase (especially where conditions are good for recruitment). It's the same story with virtually all fisheries. You can't can't have your cake and eat it, too.
