Crappie
Crappie anglers in the Danbury, Connecticut region should set their sights on Squantz Pond State Park. This clear, deep lake holds a healthy population of crappie that can provide excellent fishing, especially during the spring spawn. As the water warms in April and May, crappie move into shallow bays and coves to spawn. Small jigs tipped with live minnows are incredibly effective when fished under a bobber near submerged brush or fallen trees. Look for areas with water depths of 4-8 feet. A practical tip: Squantz Pond can get crowded, particularly on weekends, so arriving early is crucial to secure a good fishing spot. The state park offers ample shoreline access and a boat launch. During the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, so try fishing around submerged structure or drop-offs with small jigs or minnows. Crappie in Squantz Pond typically range from 8-12 inches, offering a tasty reward for your efforts.
