Crappie
If you're after Crappie in the Dennison, Ohio area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the region's reservoirs and smaller lakes. Atwood Lake and Leesville Lake, managed by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD), are popular choices known for their healthy crappie populations. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time, as crappie move shallow to spawn around brush piles, submerged trees, and docks. A local's trick is to target the coves along the shoreline in Atwood Lake using minnows or small jigs under a bobber. Pay close attention to water clarity; stained water often produces better results. Fall can also be productive as crappie school up near deeper structure. Leesville Lake, with its more complex structure, can be a bit more challenging but also holds some real slab crappie. Remember to consult the ODNR fishing regulations and MWCD lake rules before you go, and consider using a fish finder to locate submerged structure where crappie tend to congregate.
