Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappies in western Minnesota, Wolverton offers some under-the-radar opportunities. The nearby sloughs and backwaters connected to the Red River are prime crappie habitat, especially during the spring spawn when they move into the shallows. Look for areas with submerged vegetation and downed trees – these provide cover and attract baitfish. Early ice fishing can also be productive. A local tip: be prepared for fluctuating water levels, especially in the spring. Check river gauges before heading out. The crappie population here is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes. While you might not find trophy-sized fish every time, consistent action is common. Focus on using small jigs tipped with minnows or plastics under a bobber. Remember to respect private property along the riverbanks and access public areas where available.
