Crappie
Crappie fishing around Warren, Michigan, can be surprisingly productive in the smaller lakes, ponds, and canals connected to the Clinton River. These urban fisheries often hold overlooked populations of crappie. Spring is the peak season when crappie move into shallow, protected areas to spawn. Look for them around docks, brush piles, and weed beds in 2-6 feet of water. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are the go-to bait. A slip bobber rig is particularly effective for targeting crappie holding near structure. As the water warms in summer, crappie tend to move deeper, seeking cooler water and shade. Try fishing near submerged trees or bridge pilings. A practical tip: many of the smaller ponds are accessible from shore, making them ideal for a quick fishing trip. Be respectful of private property and always obtain permission before fishing on private land. The crappie in these waters tend to be smaller than in larger lakes, but you can still find some decent-sized fish exceeding 10 inches.
