Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts near Lyons, Ohio, should set their sights on the smaller lakes and reservoirs dotting the landscape. While the Maumee River is the dominant waterway, the surrounding ponds and smaller lakes offer ideal crappie habitat. Spring is undoubtedly the peak season, when crappie move into shallow bays and coves to spawn. Look for areas with submerged brush, docks, and lily pads. A simple minnow under a bobber is often all you need. Fall can also be productive as crappie school up before winter. A good tip is to check out the smaller community lakes; many are stocked and managed for panfish. The crappie in these smaller waters tend to be relatively consistent in size, with many fish in the 9-11 inch range, making for a tasty meal.
