Crappie
If you're chasing crappie near New Paris, Ohio, you'll want to focus your efforts on the local reservoirs and smaller lakes that dot the landscape. While there aren't any massive fisheries in the immediate area, these smaller bodies of water can hold surprisingly good populations of slab crappie. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds. A small jig tipped with a minnow or waxworm is tough to beat. Another productive time is late fall, when crappie school up in deeper water near structure. A local tip: Acton Lake in Hueston Woods State Park, about a 30-minute drive, is a popular spot known for its crappie fishing, but can get crowded. Try exploring some of the smaller, less-known lakes in the surrounding counties for a more secluded experience. The crappie in this area tend to be good-sized, with some reaching the 12-14 inch range. Remember to check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website for the latest fishing regulations and creel limits.
