Crappie
Crappie fishing near Larkspur, Colorado, presents a unique challenge and opportunity, as the higher altitude and colder climate limit the number of suitable habitats. Your best bet is to focus on reservoirs and ponds in the surrounding Douglas County area. Look for structures like submerged trees or weed beds, as crappie tend to congregate around these areas. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the most productive, with the spawn occurring in May or June. Try using small jigs or minnows under a bobber, fishing at varying depths to locate the schools. A key tip for this region is to check the water levels and clarity before heading out, as these can fluctuate significantly, impacting the crappie's behavior. Public access can be limited, so research specific reservoir regulations and access points in advance. Be prepared for cooler temperatures, even in summer, due to the elevation.
