Crappie
Crappie fishing near Scappoose offers a relaxing and rewarding experience, especially in the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Columbia River. These areas, like Sturgeon Lake, provide the calm, shallow, and structure-rich environments that crappie love. What makes this fishery unique is its accessibility and the relatively consistent crappie populations. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. However, you can also find them in deeper water around submerged timber or docks during the summer and fall. A local tip: use a small jig tipped with a minnow or crappie nibble under a bobber, and experiment with different depths until you find where the fish are holding. Be aware of the vegetation growth, as it can become quite thick in the summer. Kayak or canoe access can be very effective for reaching some of the more secluded crappie hotspots. The crappie here tend to run a decent size, with some reaching over a pound.
