Crappie
While not as well-known as some other Oregon locations, Mitchell offers some surprisingly good crappie fishing opportunities in nearby reservoirs and ponds. Look to smaller, less-pressured bodies of water in the surrounding area, as the John Day River itself is not ideal for crappie. Spring is prime time as the water warms and crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Focus on structure like submerged trees, brush piles, and weed beds. A local tip: using a small jig tipped with a minnow or crappie nibble under a bobber is a classic and effective technique. Also, consider fishing during the early morning or late evening hours when crappie tend to be more active. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as these can vary from waterbody to waterbody. While the crappie here may not be trophy-sized, you can find good numbers and enjoy a peaceful day of fishing.
