I'm not sure whether WA has Crappie or not; a visit to the WA DNR site should tell you. Crappie & Walleye are both freshwater species, and can be caught on live bait or artificials,
I can talk Crappie to you all day, but if you want to chase Walleye, Phil is more your man. @LittleLakePhil
Well now I got to google!!!! Most of the lakes here are planted... with trout. We go to the rivers to fish Salmon, which I LOVE... but I eat seafood so I am down researching.
