Title: Central ferry crappie?
Post by: hunt_fish on April 08, 2014, 09:26:44 AM: Does anyone know if the crappie fishing around central ferry is still good and when the best time to fish it is? I'm guessing late April into June? I've never fished that far over but I remember reading about it a couple years ago how it's good, I just don't want to trek over there and not catch any when there's spots closer where I can catch a couple at least. I know if anything, I can always catch some bass there from shore.

Where or what is, central ferry ?

It's on the snake river past Lyons ferry. I think it's another 45 minutes to an hour east of Lyons ferry.

Closest camping is at the Deadman Creek store beyond that is Pomeroy or Starbuck. There is a boat ramp on the opposite side of the river at the Port of Garfield County next to the grain elevators. Next closest would be Willow Landing, just upstream.

Also last I was there you should also keep an eye out for exposed nails along the dock that stick out and can injure you or your boat. Just fyi :tup:
