Crappie
If you're after crappie near Clermont, Indiana, Eagle Creek Reservoir is your primary destination. This large reservoir offers abundant crappie habitat, including submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds that attract these tasty panfish. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow areas to spawn. Focus your efforts in the backs of coves and around submerged structure in 5-10 feet of water. Minnows and small jigs fished under a bobber are the go-to techniques. A local tip: many anglers have success fishing around the numerous boat docks and piers along the shoreline. Also, be aware that Eagle Creek can get crowded, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week if possible. The crappie population in Eagle Creek is healthy, with both black and white crappie present. While trophy-sized crappie are less common, you can reliably catch good numbers of fish for a rewarding day on the water.
