Crappie
For crappie enthusiasts, Luther, Michigan offers a chance to explore some lesser-known, but potentially rewarding waters. Several small lakes and impoundments in the area hold crappie populations, offering a more secluded fishing experience than some of the larger, more popular destinations. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for areas with submerged timber, weed beds, and brush piles. A practical tip: many of these lakes have limited public access, so be prepared to do some walking or use a kayak or canoe to reach the best fishing spots. Also, be mindful of the water clarity; stained water can be advantageous, as it allows you to fish closer to the surface. The crappie in this region tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Light tackle and small jigs are the go-to techniques. Experiment with different colors and presentations to find what the fish are biting on.
