Crappie
Crappie fishing around Cohocton, NY can be quite productive if you know where to look. While Cohocton doesn't have massive lakes, smaller ponds and reservoirs in the surrounding area hold decent populations of crappie. Look to waters like Loon Lake or some of the smaller, unnamed ponds on state land. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Use small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes under a bobber, focusing on areas with submerged timber, weed beds, or docks. A local's secret: check water temperatures; when the water hits around 65-70 degrees, the crappie will be in full spawn mode. Be aware that some of these smaller waters can get weedy later in the summer, so plan accordingly. The crappie here aren't giants, but a mess of 9-11 inchers makes for a fine meal.
