Crappie
Crappie fishing near Gervais, Oregon, is best found in the backwater sloughs and slower-moving sections of the Willamette River and its tributaries. These areas offer the calm, shallow water and abundant cover that crappie prefer. Spring (April-May) is the prime time to target crappie as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for brush piles, submerged trees, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie tubes are highly effective. Summer evenings can also be productive as the crappie become more active in the cooler temperatures. Access to these areas can be challenging from the bank, so a small boat, kayak, or canoe is recommended. A local tip: Pay close attention to water temperature. When the water reaches around 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit, the crappie will begin to spawn, and you'll find them in the shallowest areas. Also, be aware of the presence of northern pikeminnow, which can sometimes be mistaken for crappie, so ensure you know the differentiating characteristics.
