Crappie
Crappie anglers visiting Ostrander, Ohio, should set their sights on Delaware State Park and its reservoir. While not directly in Ostrander, it's a short drive and offers some of the best crappie fishing in the area. The reservoir provides ample habitat with submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds that crappie love. Spring is the peak season, when crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around structure in coves and near the dam. Small jigs and minnows suspended under a bobber are the go-to presentations. A local tip is to check the water clarity; if it's murky, opt for brighter colored jigs. You can access the reservoir via multiple boat ramps around the park. Bank fishing is also available, but a boat or kayak will allow you to reach more productive areas. The crappie in Delaware Reservoir are known for their good size, so you might just land a slab!
