Crappie
Crappie fishing near Warroad, MN, can be a rewarding experience, particularly on Lake of the Woods and its connected waters. While Lake of the Woods is famous for other species, the back bays and sheltered areas provide excellent habitat for crappie. Spring is the prime time to target them as they move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Look for areas with submerged timber, lily pads, and other vegetation. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are highly effective. As the water warms up in the summer, crappie tend to move into deeper water near structure. Try using your electronics to locate submerged brush piles or drop-offs. A local tip is to check out the back bays on the south side of the lake accessible from various boat launches around Warroad. The crappie in this area can be quite plentiful, offering good action for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size and possession limits.
