Crappie
If you're looking for some slab-sized crappie in Southern Oregon, Yoncalla offers some surprisingly good opportunities. While not widely known as a crappie hotspot, local anglers quietly target them in the Umpqua River and some of the smaller, slower-moving sloughs and backwaters connected to it. These areas provide the calm, weedy habitat crappie prefer. Spring, particularly April and May, is prime time as the fish move into shallower areas to spawn. Fall can also be productive as they feed heavily before winter. For bank access, try exploring the areas around the Yoncalla City Park, or look for less formal access points along Highway 99. A small boat or kayak will significantly expand your options, allowing you to reach more secluded spots. Keep an eye on water levels, as the Umpqua can fluctuate. Local tip: minnows under a bobber are always a good bet, but don't overlook small jigs tipped with plastic trailers. The crappie here tend to be good-sized, and a 12-inch fish isn't uncommon.
