Crappie
If you're chasing crappie in Eastern Oregon, Heppner might surprise you. While not widely known as a crappie hotspot, the backwaters and sloughs off the Columbia River near Heppner can hold some decent slabs. Look for areas with submerged timber and weed beds, as these provide excellent cover for crappie. The best time to target them is during the spring spawning season (April-May) when they move into shallower water. Fall can also be productive as they fatten up for the winter. A local tip: Focus on areas where the Umatilla River flows into the Columbia – the slightly warmer water can attract crappie early in the season. Bank access is limited in some areas, so a small boat or kayak can open up more opportunities. Be aware of strong currents in the main channel of the Columbia.
