Crappie
Crappie fishing near Denham, Minnesota, can be excellent, particularly in the numerous smaller lakes and flowages that dot the landscape. These waters offer ideal habitat for crappie, with plenty of submerged timber, lily pads, and weed beds. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is prime time. Look for crappie in shallow bays and near submerged structure. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are highly effective. As the water warms in the summer, crappie will often move deeper, suspending near submerged trees or weed edges. Use a slip bobber to present your bait at the correct depth. A local's secret: explore the backwaters and quieter sections of the Willow River flowages. These areas often hold good numbers of crappie and see less fishing pressure. The crappie in this region tend to be good-sized, with many exceeding 10 inches.
