Crappie
Grangeville, Idaho, isn't necessarily the first place that springs to mind for crappie fishing, but a few nearby spots offer surprisingly good opportunities. The key is knowing where to look, and that often means focusing on smaller reservoirs and sloughs connected to the larger river systems. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Look for submerged structure like fallen trees and weed beds – that's where they'll be staging. A small jig tipped with a minnow or crappie nibble is usually all you need. A local tip: try exploring the backwaters and oxbows off the Clearwater River; these areas can warm up quickly in the spring and attract crappie. Be mindful of water levels, as access can vary. Also, remember that Idaho Fish and Game regularly stocks some of these smaller waters, so check their stocking reports for recent activity.
