Crappie
Crappie fishing near Fort Morgan centers around Jackson Lake State Park. This reservoir offers a decent crappie population, although they can be somewhat challenging to locate. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, such as brush piles, standing timber (if any exists), and rocky points. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie here, as they move into shallower water to spawn. Use small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles, and fish them under a slip bobber to control your depth. Early morning and late evening are typically the most productive times. Be aware that Jackson Lake can get windy, so check the forecast before you head out. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating submerged structure and schools of crappie. The crappie in Jackson Lake tend to run on the smaller side, but there are enough keepers to make for a rewarding day on the water.
