Yes, it would be nice if they had crappie in it! I have caught rainbow trout, largemouth bass and carp earlier this month (January 2012) and in years past. I also almost caught a beaver back in 2005!!! I catch and release all the fish I catch out of that lake. The biggest bass was over 6 lbs and the few carp I have caught are over 5 lbs easy. Heading to Canyon lake on Tuesday, then to Alamo from 2/8 thru 2/8.
There was a comment that Tempe Town Lake is 2nd most money generating venue in AZ next to the Grand Canyon. I don't know if i believe that, unless they count on all the concerts, marathons, New Year's Celebrations, etc. as revenue from the lake. LOL!
