Crappie
If you're chasing crappie near New Plymouth, Lake Lowell is your best bet. This reservoir offers a decent crappie population, though they can be somewhat elusive. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush piles, weed beds, and docks. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A key to success here is finding areas with relatively clear water, as the lake can sometimes become turbid. The crappie in Lake Lowell tend to run on the smaller side, averaging around 8-10 inches, but a dedicated angler can certainly find some keepers. Consider using a fish finder to locate submerged structure and schools of crappie. Public access is available at several points around the lake, but be sure to check water levels, which can impact boat launching.
