Crappie
For crappie fishing near Hudson Falls, New York, explore the slower-moving waters and back channels of the Hudson River and the Champlain Canal. These areas offer the sheltered habitat that crappie prefer. Spring (May-June), during the spawn, is the absolute best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow, weedy areas to reproduce. Use light tackle and small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles. Look for submerged structure like fallen trees or docks, as crappie often congregate around these areas. A good access point is the Rogers Island Visitors Center, which offers shoreline access to the river. Be aware of boat traffic in the canal, especially during peak season. The crappie in this area tend to be relatively small, but they are plentiful, making for a fun and rewarding day of fishing. Local tip: Try using a slip bobber rig to suspend your bait at the desired depth, especially when fishing around submerged structure.
