Crappie
Crappie fishing near Falls Village requires a bit of exploration, but the rewards can be worthwhile. Focus your efforts on the slower sections of the Housatonic River and any connected backwaters or ponds. Spring is the best time, when crappie move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are deadly. As the water warms, they'll retreat to deeper structure like submerged trees and brush piles. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating these hotspots. A local angler's secret is to target areas near bridge pilings, as they provide cover and attract baitfish. Remember that crappie are schooling fish, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. The crappie in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers.
