Crappie
Crappie fishing near Grand Junction might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but several smaller reservoirs and ponds in the area hold decent populations. Look to bodies of water like Highline Lake State Park or Connected Lakes State Park. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower waters to spawn. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near submerged structures like brush piles or fallen trees. A local tip: focus on the northern shorelines of these reservoirs, as they tend to warm up quicker in the spring. Crappie in this region tend to be on the smaller side, but they make for a fun and accessible fishing experience. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, especially in the spring, and always check for any park-specific regulations.
