Crappie
Crappie fishing near Oakridge centers around Hills Creek Reservoir. While not as well-known as its bass fishing, Hills Creek offers a decent crappie population. These panfish tend to congregate around submerged structure, such as brush piles, standing timber, and docks. The best time to target crappie is during the spring spawn (April-May) when they move into shallower water to reproduce. Small jigs, minnows, and crappie nibbles fished under a bobber are effective techniques. Focus your efforts in the coves and backwaters of the reservoir. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating schools of crappie. The boat ramp at Hills Creek Forebay provides easy access to the lake. Keep an eye on water levels, as they can fluctuate and affect crappie location. While not trophy-sized, the crappie in Hills Creek can provide a fun and tasty fishing experience.
