Crappie
Crappie anglers will find plenty to love in the Buhl, Minnesota area. The numerous lakes surrounding the town are home to thriving crappie populations, offering both quantity and quality. What makes Buhl a good crappie destination is the abundance of shallow, weedy bays and submerged timber that provide ideal habitat. Spring is the prime time for crappie fishing, as they move into these shallows to spawn. Look for areas with pencil reeds or submerged brush. A local tactic is to use a slip bobber rig with a small jig or minnow, allowing you to present your bait just above the cover. Many of the lakes around Buhl have public access points, but some are smaller and less known. Check local bait shops for tips on the best spots. The crappie in this region tend to be relatively consistent in size, with a good number reaching the 10-12 inch range. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits, as they can vary from lake to lake.
