Crappie
Lewiston, NY, offers some surprisingly good crappie fishing, particularly in the quieter backwaters and marinas along the Lower Niagara River. While not as famous as some other crappie destinations, the consistent water temperatures and abundant forage make it a reliable spot. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow, protected areas to spawn. Look for them around docks, submerged brush, and any structure that provides cover. A small jig tipped with a minnow suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective presentation. Many local anglers find success fishing from the docks at the Lewiston Landing, which offers easy access. Be mindful of boat traffic, especially during peak season. The crappie in the Niagara tend to be good-sized, often exceeding 12 inches, making for a rewarding day on the water.
