Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappie near Portland, Lake Oswego is a surprisingly productive option. The lake's relatively shallow, weedy areas provide excellent habitat for crappie to spawn and thrive. Spring is prime time, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn when water temperatures hit the mid-60s. Look for them around docks, submerged brush, and lily pads. A small jig tipped with a minnow or crappie nibble is deadly. Access can be a bit tricky, as much of the shoreline is private. However, the public boat launch at George Rogers Park provides good access to the main lake. Be aware that Lake Oswego is a no-wake lake, so plan accordingly if you're bringing a larger boat. Local tip: Pay attention to the mayfly hatches; crappie will often key in on these insects, and a small dry fly can be surprisingly effective.
