Crappie
Crappie fishing in the Lino Lakes area can be quite rewarding. The numerous shallow, weedy lakes provide ideal habitat for these panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time, as crappies move into the shallows to spawn. Target areas with submerged brush, docks, and overhanging trees. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are deadly. Summer can be tougher, as the crappies move deeper, but you can still find them suspended near weed edges. Use a slip bobber to present your bait at the correct depth. Fall brings another opportunity as crappies school up again before winter. A local tip: early morning and late evening are usually the most productive times. Many lakes have public access points, but a portable fish finder can be invaluable for locating schools of crappies.
