Crappie
Crappie anglers looking for a productive trip near Rainier, Oregon should focus on the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Columbia River. These areas offer the shallow, weedy habitat that Crappie love. The best time to target them is during the spring spawn when they move into these shallows to reproduce. Look for areas with submerged vegetation or downed trees. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles are the go-to bait. Focus on areas with little to no current. A float tube or small boat will give you the best access to the prime crappie holding areas. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary. The Crappie in these sloughs tend to be good-sized, with many exceeding 10 inches. Remember to bring insect repellent, as the backwaters can be buggy, especially in the warmer months.
