Crappie
If you're looking to tangle with some slab-sided crappie in western New York, Churchville offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The area's smaller lakes and ponds, along with slower sections of local creeks, can hold impressive populations of these panfish. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, docks, and weed beds in water 4-8 feet deep. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are the classic presentation. A local tip: Black Creek Park is a popular access point, but don't overlook smaller, less-pressured ponds that require a bit of scouting. The crappie in this region aren't known for their massive size, but what they lack in individual heft, they make up for in numbers, providing fast action and a tasty meal.
