Crappie
For crappie fishing near Ione, Oregon, Willow Creek Reservoir stands out as a solid option. While not as well-known for crappie as some other Oregon waters, Willow Creek does hold a decent population of these panfish. Look for crappie around submerged timber, bridge pilings, and any other available structure. Spring is the prime time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Small jigs, minnows, or crappie nibbles fished under a bobber are all effective techniques. As the water warms in the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, so you may need to adjust your presentation accordingly. A helpful local tip for Willow Creek: Use your electronics to locate schools of crappie before you start fishing. They often congregate in specific areas, and finding these concentrations can dramatically increase your chances of success. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding crappie size and bag limits, as they can vary.
