Crappie
If you're looking for slab-sized crappie in central Pennsylvania, Avis offers some excellent freshwater opportunities. The Susquehanna River's West Branch, easily accessible near Avis, is a local hotspot. Anglers also target nearby reservoirs like Foster Joseph Sayers Lake for crappie. Spring is prime time as the fish move shallow to spawn, but the fall can also produce good catches as they feed aggressively before winter. A small jig tipped with a minnow or tube bait is a go-to presentation. Local tip: check water levels on the Susquehanna before you go, as high or muddy water can impact fishing. Sayers Lake offers good boat access, but be mindful of submerged timber and structure that hold crappie. The crappie in these waters tend to be good-sized, with some pushing over the 14-inch mark, so be prepared for a good fight!
