Crappie
Crappie fishing near Freemansburg requires a bit of exploration as the Lehigh River itself is not ideal crappie habitat. Focus your search on the calmer, more lake-like sections of the Lehigh Canal, or venture to nearby lakes and reservoirs like Lake Nockamixon (a bit of a drive, but worth it). Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow areas to spawn. Look for submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks in these areas. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are highly effective. A local tip: Focus on the canal sections near bridge pilings or where feeder streams enter, as these areas often hold concentrations of crappie. The crappie population in the Lehigh Valley tends to consist of both black and white crappie, with fish averaging 8-10 inches. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
