Crappie
Crappie fishing near Portland often means heading to the sloughs and backwaters of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Sauvie Island, with its network of sloughs, is a popular destination. The key to success is locating submerged structure, such as fallen trees and weed beds, where crappie congregate. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Small jigs and minnows suspended under a bobber are effective presentations. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as crappie prefer slightly stained water. The Multnomah Channel boat ramp offers good access to these areas. Remember to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any specific restrictions.
