Crappie
Crappie fishing around Boise City can be surprisingly rewarding, especially in some of the smaller reservoirs and ponds in the area. Lake Lowell, also known as Deer Flat Reservoir, is a popular destination for crappie anglers. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the absolute best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow, weedy areas to reproduce. Early morning and late evening are typically the most productive times. A local tip: use small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie tubes under a bobber, and fish near submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and weed beds. Lake Lowell can get crowded, so arriving early is recommended. The crappie in this area tend to school tightly, so once you find them, you can often catch several from the same spot. Keep an eye on your electronics to locate schools of fish.
