Crappie
Crappie anglers will find plenty to enjoy in the Riverton, Minnesota, area. The numerous lakes connected to the Mississippi River provide ideal habitat for these tasty panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time, as crappies move into shallow bays and around docks to spawn. Look for areas with submerged wood or brush piles, as these provide excellent cover. A local tactic that works well is using a small jig suspended under a bobber near these structures. Another great tip is to explore the backwaters and channels off the main river channel; these areas often hold large concentrations of crappies. The crappie population in this region is generally healthy, with a good average size, making for some excellent table fare.
