Crappie IMHO are like the Bluegill's sexy older sister. They can get to be "trophy" size, fight just as hard, taste better and seem to have a higher place in many "angler's" minds. Beaver Lake (Skagit County) holds some good ones. Fishing with flies for trout there was a bust for me, but the Crappie definitely liked my green micro leeches. They also have a tendency to "school up" in small areas, so you can catch a lot of them..once you find one. Pan fish are often overlooked by fisherman to pursue more desirable species. But, if you are looking to entertain a child, catch a bunch of fish, or want to eat some killer fish tacos, those little fish can "produce".
