Crappie
Crappie fishing near Silt, Colorado, requires a bit of exploration, as they aren't as widespread as some other species. Your best bet will be Harvey Gap Reservoir, a relatively small reservoir located a short drive from Silt. Springtime, when the water warms up, is prime time for crappie as they move into shallower areas to spawn. Look for them near submerged vegetation, brush piles, and any other structure that provides cover. Small jigs, minnows, or crappie nibbles suspended under a bobber are effective techniques. A local tip is to fish around the dam structure and along the western shoreline where there's more cover. Be mindful of wind conditions, as Harvey Gap can get quite choppy. While crappie here aren't huge, you can find some decent-sized fish if you're patient and persistent. Check local fishing reports for recent conditions and stocking information.
