Crappie
Crappie fishing near Forest Grove, Oregon, centers around Henry Hagg Lake (also known as Scoggins Valley Park). While not a renowned crappie fishery, Hagg Lake does hold a population of these panfish, offering a fun diversion. Spring (April-May) is generally the best time to target crappie as they move into shallower waters to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and weed beds. Small jigs and minnows are effective baits. A boat is highly recommended to access the best crappie holding areas. The boat ramp at Hagg Lake is well-maintained, but can get busy on weekends, so plan accordingly. Local anglers often find success by trolling slowly along the shoreline with jigs. Don't expect trophy-sized crappie; most will be in the 8-10 inch range, but they are still a tasty treat!
