Crappie
Crappie fishing near McMinnville is primarily found in Hagg Lake, a short drive to the northeast. While not overflowing with crappie, patient anglers can find decent numbers, especially around submerged structure and brush piles. Spring is the prime time to target crappie as they move into shallower water to spawn. Look for them in the coves and near the dam. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are effective. A slip bobber setup allows you to present your bait at the desired depth. Hagg Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so arrive early to secure a good spot. The lake has several boat ramps and plenty of shoreline access. Be mindful of any fishing regulations specific to Hagg Lake, as they can change. Slow trolling or drifting along weed lines can also be productive for locating crappie schools.
