Crappie
Crappie fishing near Gooding, Idaho can be a rewarding experience if you know where to look. Several of the smaller reservoirs and ponds in the area hold crappie populations. These fish tend to school up tightly around submerged structure, so locating that structure is key. The best time to target them is during the spring spawning season when they move into shallower water to spawn. Use small jigs and minnows suspended under a bobber to entice them. A key local tip is to check water clarity; if the water is murky, use brighter colored jigs. Also, be mindful of private property boundaries and only fish in areas where you have permission or where public access is allowed. These crappie aren't generally large, but they are plentiful and can provide for a fun day of fishing.
