Crappie
If you're looking for slab-sized crappie in eastern Connecticut, Danielson is a great place to start. The Quinebaug River and several smaller ponds and lakes in the area offer excellent crappie habitat. Look for submerged structure like fallen trees, brush piles, and weed beds, as these are crappie magnets. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the most productive times. A small jig or minnow suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective presentation. Anglers can also find success during the fall months as crappie school up before winter. Access to the Quinebaug can be found at several points along its course, but be mindful of private property. Fishing from shore is possible in many areas, but a small boat or kayak will significantly expand your options. Local tip: be prepared for stained water conditions, so brighter colored lures or live bait often produce better results.
