Crappie
Crappie fishing near Savona, NY, can be quite productive in the right locations. Waneta Lake and Lamoka Lake are again your best bets, as these lakes offer the shallow, weedy habitat that crappie prefer. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, specifically during the pre-spawn and spawn periods (late April to early June). Look for them near submerged brush piles, docks, and weed beds in relatively shallow water (4-8 feet). A local tip: use small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles suspended under a bobber. Adjust the depth of your bobber until you find where the fish are holding. The crappie in these lakes tend to school up, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Keep moving until you locate a productive school.
