Crappie
Crappie fishing around West Springfield can be productive in several of the smaller lakes and ponds dotted around the area. Look to waters like Congamond Lakes or even the backwaters of the Connecticut River for these panfish. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the peak time to target crappie as they move into shallower water. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, or docks, as these provide cover and attract crappie. A local angler's trick: try fishing with small jigs or minnows under a bobber around structure. Many of these smaller water bodies are accessible from shore, but a small boat or kayak can greatly expand your fishing options. The crappie population in these waters tends to be cyclical, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on size and abundance.
