Crappie
Northeast Oregon might not be the first place that springs to mind for crappie, but the reservoirs around Cove offer some surprisingly good fishing. Anglers in the know head to places like Thief Valley Reservoir or smaller farm ponds scattered throughout the area. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn when the water warms up. Look for them around submerged structure like brush piles, standing timber, or weed beds. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a crappie nibble is a classic and effective presentation. Be aware that water levels in Thief Valley can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go. Local tip: many of the smaller ponds are on private land, so always ask for permission before fishing. The crappie here tend to run a bit smaller than in other parts of the country, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. This area is often overlooked, meaning less fishing pressure and more opportunities to find your own honey hole.
