Crappie
If you're looking to catch Crappie near Junction City, Fern Ridge Reservoir is your primary destination. This large reservoir offers ample habitat for Crappie, with submerged timber, weed beds, and brush piles providing excellent cover. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the peak season, as the Crappie move into shallow water to reproduce. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times of day. A practical tip is to focus your efforts around the many boat docks and submerged structures throughout the reservoir. Small jigs, tube baits, or live minnows fished under a bobber are effective techniques. The Crappie in Fern Ridge Reservoir can reach decent sizes, with some exceeding 12 inches. Be sure to use light line, as Crappie have delicate mouths. Boat ramps are available around the lake, providing easy access to prime fishing locations. Check local reports for water levels, as they can fluctuate and affect fish location.
