Crappie
Crappie fishing around Hayden, Colorado, can be rewarding if you know where to look. While not as abundant as in some southern states, crappie inhabit several local reservoirs and ponds. One of the better options is Yampa River State Park, which includes several smaller ponds along the river. Spring is the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for submerged structure like brush piles and fallen trees. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are classic crappie presentations. A local tip: Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Be aware that some of these smaller waters can freeze over in the winter, offering ice fishing opportunities. The crappie here typically range from 8-12 inches, making for a tasty meal.
