Went out for a couple hours yesterday afternoon. Caught all sorts stockers on power bait, spinners and wooly buggers. Fished on the east side. I am not good at warm water species identification. This little guy ate a wooly bugger. So I was hoping one of you could tell if this is a crappie?

Sorry the pic is bad I had to use my phone.

They just drained and filled that lake i think it was last year so all that's in there is stocker trout and small warmwater fish. Within a couple of years hopefullly you'll be able to pull some nice bass, crappie, and cats out.

I caught some 12-13" largemouth out of there last year on shallow diving cranks. I was pretty surprised.

Went again today and caught the same stockers and a little crappie. But I agree the view is awseome!

Here is an article I found last year on Sheldon.  Don't know how old it is but think it's from 2004.
