Crappie
Crappie fishing in Fishers, Indiana, is primarily focused on Geist Reservoir, a large body of water with plenty of suitable habitat. Look for crappie around submerged timber, docks, and weed beds, especially in the coves and backwaters of the reservoir. Spring is the peak season for crappie fishing as they move into shallower waters to spawn. However, crappie can be caught throughout the year, with fall being another productive time. A practical tip is to use a slip bobber rig with a minnow or small jig to target crappie suspended near structure. Also, pay attention to water clarity; if the water is clear, use lighter line and smaller baits. If it's murky, opt for brighter colors and slightly larger presentations. Crappie in Geist Reservoir can reach good sizes, with many fish exceeding 10 inches. Look for areas with brush piles or submerged trees, as these often hold large concentrations of crappie.
