Crappie
If you're looking for some excellent crappie fishing in east-central Indiana, Dunreith should be on your radar. While not known for massive lakes, the area boasts several smaller, often overlooked waterways and private ponds that can hold surprisingly large populations of slab crappie. Prime time is during the spring spawning season, typically from late April through May, when crappie move into the shallows to nest. Look for them around submerged timber, brush piles, and lily pads in these smaller bodies of water. A light action rod with 4-6 pound test line is ideal, and small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber are classic crappie presentations. Don't overlook the fall either, as crappie school up again before winter. Local tip: ask around about access to private ponds – you might be surprised at the opportunities available. Remember to always respect private property and obtain permission before fishing.
