Crappie
Crappie fishing near Johnson City, Oregon, requires a bit of exploration, as it's not as widely publicized as trout or salmon. However, Lost Creek Lake, a short drive from Johnson City, can hold some decent crappie populations. Focus your efforts in the spring, particularly during the pre-spawn period when crappie move into shallow water to prepare for spawning. Look for submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds in the coves and backwaters of the lake. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are classic crappie presentations. A local tip is to use a fish finder to locate schools of crappie before you start fishing. Also, be aware of the lake's water levels, which can fluctuate. The crappie in Lost Creek Lake tend to be relatively small to medium-sized, but they can provide a fun and productive day on the water. The best access is from the Lost Creek Lake boat launch.
