Crappie
Crappie fishing near Winifred, Montana, might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it's worth exploring if you're in the area. Several smaller reservoirs and ponds dot the landscape and can hold decent populations of crappie. The key is finding them. Spring is the best time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn when water temperatures rise. Look for brush piles, submerged trees, or any structure that provides cover. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A local trick is to check with the local bait shops or general stores; they often have up-to-date information on which ponds are producing. Be aware that some of these smaller bodies of water can be subject to winterkill, so populations can fluctuate. Also, access to some ponds may require permission from private landowners.
