Crappie
Ovid, Michigan, offers some surprisingly good crappie fishing if you know where to look! The smaller lakes and backwaters connected to the Looking Glass River are your best bet. These areas provide the shallow, protected habitat that crappie love, especially during the spring spawn. Target brush piles, submerged trees, and docks in 5-10 feet of water. Spring (late April-May) is peak season, but you can also find crappie in the fall as they school up before winter. For access, check out public access points on the Looking Glass River and the smaller lakes surrounding Ovid. Many of the local lakes have boat launches. A great local tactic is using small jigs under a bobber near submerged structure. The crappie in this area tend to run a bit smaller on average, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Be prepared to move around and experiment with different depths to find the schools.
