Crappie
Crappie fishing near Monte Vista, Colorado, may require a bit of exploration, but it can be rewarding. Focus your efforts on local reservoirs and ponds. These smaller bodies of water, often overlooked, can hold surprisingly good populations of crappie. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Look for areas with submerged vegetation or brush piles, as these provide cover and attract baitfish. Small jigs and minnows are effective baits. A good local tip is to check with the local bait shops for the most recent hotspots and water conditions. Also, be prepared for potentially windy conditions on some of the larger reservoirs, which can make boat control challenging. The crappie in this region tend to be on the smaller side, but a limit of tasty panfish is always a good day.
