Crappie
Crappie fishing around Sheridan Lake, Colorado, can be surprisingly productive if you know where to look. The lake's structure, including submerged timber and weed beds, provides excellent habitat for these panfish. Spring, as the water warms, is the peak season when crappie move into shallower areas to spawn. Focus your efforts around coves and inlets with brushy cover. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits, presented under a bobber or slowly retrieved. A local trick is to use a depth finder to locate submerged structure and crappie schools before casting. Remember that crappie tend to school tightly, so finding one often means finding many. The crappie in Sheridan Lake tend to be good-sized, making for a rewarding day on the water. Be mindful of creel limits and size restrictions, which are clearly outlined by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
