Crappie
Crappie fishing in Parker, Colorado, centers around the few reservoirs and ponds in the area. While not a crappie hotspot, you can find decent populations in places like Hidden Mesa Open Space and some of the smaller community ponds. Spring, during the pre-spawn, is the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to prepare for spawning. Look for submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks, as crappie tend to congregate around these areas. Use small jigs, minnows, or tube baits suspended under a bobber. A local tip is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening, when the crappie are most active. Keep in mind that these are smaller bodies of water, so expect fishing pressure to be higher, especially on weekends. The crappie here are generally smaller, but still provide a fun and accessible fishing experience.
