Crappie
While Poncha Springs isn't typically known as a crappie hotspot, dedicated anglers can find success in nearby reservoirs and ponds. The key is to explore smaller, less pressured waters off the beaten path. Spring and early summer, as the water warms, is prime time as crappie move into shallower areas to spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, weed beds, and any structure that provides cover. Try using small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles under a bobber, or slowly retrieve them through likely holding areas. A local tip: The Arkansas River, while known for trout, can have backwater areas and eddies that hold crappie, especially after periods of high water. Also, remember that high-altitude sun is intense, so pack sunscreen and polarized sunglasses to cut the glare and spot fish.
