Crappie
If you're chasing crappie in northern Indiana, don't overlook the smaller lakes and ponds around Wanatah. While not a trophy crappie destination, these waters offer consistent action, especially for anglers willing to explore. Look to places like Loomis Lake or the various farm ponds scattered throughout the county. Spring is prime time, as crappie move shallow to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged timber, brush piles, or lily pads. A simple jig and bobber rig is often all you need, tipped with a minnow or waxworm. Local tip: many of the smaller ponds are on private property, so always get permission before fishing. The crappie here tend to run smaller, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. A light action rod will make even the smaller fish fun to catch.
