Crappie
Crappie fishing near Powell, Ohio, can be productive in several of the smaller reservoirs and ponds scattered throughout the area. While the Scioto River itself isn't ideal, places like O'Shaughnessy Reservoir and Alum Creek Lake (a short drive away) hold decent populations. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure, such as brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. A simple minnow under a bobber is a classic and effective technique. Another good option is small jigs tipped with crappie nibbles. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky, use brighter colored jigs. If it's clear, try natural colors. These reservoirs can get crowded, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week if possible. The crappie in these waters are typically in the 8-12 inch range, making for a tasty meal if you decide to keep a few (be sure to check local regulations).
