Crappie
Crappie fishing near Malad City offers a chance to tangle with these panfish in some of Southern Idaho's smaller, often overlooked reservoirs and ponds. While not as famous as some of the state's larger fisheries, these spots can hold surprisingly good populations of crappie. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like brush piles, weed beds, and fallen trees. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles are usually the ticket. A local tip: try targeting the Juniper Reservoir, a smaller body of water that warms up quickly in the spring. Also, be aware that water levels in some of these reservoirs can fluctuate, so checking conditions beforehand is always a good idea. The crappie in this region tend to run smaller to medium size, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers, providing plenty of action for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to check Idaho Fish and Game regulations for specific limits and any gear restrictions.
