Crappie
Looking for crappie near Apollo, PA? Your best bet is to focus on the backwaters and slower-moving sections of the Kiskiminetas River and nearby lakes like Keystone Lake. These areas offer the submerged structure and cover that crappie prefer. Spring, particularly during the pre-spawn and spawning periods (April-May), is the most productive time to target them. Look for crappie around submerged trees, brush piles, and docks. A local trick is to use small minnows or jigs suspended under a bobber, fishing them near structure. Keystone Lake provides boat access, allowing you to explore a wider range of potential crappie holding areas. The crappie in this region tend to school up tightly, so once you find them, you can often catch several in the same spot. Be aware of the water clarity, as crappie prefer slightly stained water. Also, check the regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions, as they can vary depending on the specific waterway.
