Crappie
If you're looking for some slab-sized crappie in eastern Ohio, New Philadelphia offers several promising freshwater locations. The Tuscarawas River, which winds through the area, can hold good numbers of crappie, particularly around submerged structure and bridge pilings. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Focus your efforts in the backwaters and slower-moving sections of the river. Another option is the nearby Atwood Lake, known for its healthy crappie population. Fish near submerged timber, docks, and brush piles using jigs or minnows under a bobber. A local tip: Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Public access to the Tuscarawas is available at several points along the river, including the Canal Lands Park. Be mindful of water levels, as heavy rains can impact clarity and fishing conditions. The crappie in this region tend to be good-sized, offering a rewarding fishing experience.
