Crappie
Crappie fishing near Little Falls, Minnesota, means exploring the backwaters and connected lakes of the Mississippi River. These areas offer the shallow, weedy cover that crappies love. Look for them near submerged timber, docks, and weed edges. Spring, as the water warms, is prime time for crappie as they move shallow to spawn. A simple jig and minnow combination is hard to beat. During the summer months, crappies often move to deeper water near structure. Anglers can target them with slip bobbers or by spider-rigging. A helpful tip is to focus on the bays and sloughs off the main channel of the river. These quieter waters often hold the largest concentrations of crappie. Also, be aware of potential boat traffic on the main river channel.
