Crappie
Crappie fishing near Oak Creek requires a bit of exploration, as they aren't the most abundant species in the immediate area. Stagecoach Reservoir, while better known for trout and bass, can hold pockets of crappie, especially around submerged structure and weed beds. The key is to locate areas with warmer water and cover. Spring spawning season is the best time to target them, as they move into shallower areas. Small jigs, tubes, or live minnows fished under a bobber are effective techniques. Focus your efforts near the dam or around any submerged timber. Given the colder climate, crappie populations can be somewhat limited, so don't expect huge numbers. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. The water can be very clear at times, so using lighter line and natural-colored baits can improve your chances. Also, be prepared to move around and search for active fish, as they can be localized.
