Crappie
Crappie anglers visiting North Hornell should focus on Almond Lake. This reservoir provides ideal habitat for crappie, with plenty of submerged timber, weed beds, and brush piles. These fish congregate around these areas, especially during the spawning season in the spring. Spring (April-May) is the peak time, but you can also find crappie throughout the summer and fall by targeting deeper structure. A boat is highly recommended for accessing the best crappie habitat on Almond Lake, and there is a public boat launch available. A local tip: use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near submerged trees or weed edges. The crappie in Almond Lake can be quite numerous, but they can also be finicky, so experiment with different depths and presentations. Be sure to check the local fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits for crappie before you head out.
