Crappie
Crappie fishing around Nellie, Ohio, centers mainly on the smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area. While there isn't a major crappie fishery, some of the local farm ponds and smaller reservoirs can hold decent populations. Spring is the best time to target them, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for areas with submerged timber, brush piles, or docks – these provide excellent cover for crappie. Minnows and small jigs are the go-to baits. A local tip: Many of these spots are on private land, so securing permission is crucial. If you can find a pond with good structure and clear water, you're likely to find crappie. The crappie in these smaller waters often aren't huge, but they can provide consistent action, especially for family fishing trips.
