Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing near Lewisville, Idaho, centers around the smaller, warmer water reservoirs and ponds in the region. These often-overlooked waters can hold surprising numbers of crappie. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target them, specifically during the pre-spawn and spawn (April-May) when they congregate in the shallows near vegetation. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near submerged brush or weed edges. As the water warms in the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, so adjust your tactics accordingly. A key local tip: many of these ponds are relatively small and can get pressured quickly, so try fishing during off-peak hours or exploring some of the lesser-known waters. Also, be prepared for fluctuating water levels due to irrigation demands. While crappie size isn't huge, you can expect to find plenty in the 8-10 inch range, with the occasional larger fish.
