Crappie
Crappie fishing around Soda Springs takes a bit of exploration, as they aren't the most common species in the immediate vicinity. However, several smaller reservoirs and ponds in the surrounding area can hold decent populations. The key is to locate submerged structure – think brush piles, standing timber, or weed beds. Spring is the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them in protected coves and backwaters. A simple jig fished under a bobber is a classic and effective technique. Local anglers often have luck using live minnows as well. Access can vary from reservoir to reservoir, so check local regulations regarding boat launches and fishing permits. The crappie in this region are often smaller than those found in more southern locations, but they can still provide a fun and rewarding fishing experience. Be prepared to move around and try different locations until you find a concentration of fish.
