Crappie
If crappie are on your mind near New Britain, PA, consider heading to Peace Valley Park and Lake Galena. While not exclusively a crappie fishery, Lake Galena offers good opportunities, especially around submerged structure, bridge pilings, and weed edges. Spring is the prime time for crappie fishing as they move into shallower water to spawn. Focus your efforts in coves and near brush piles. Small jigs, minnows, and tubes suspended under a bobber are effective techniques. A local tip: try fishing around the bridge near the dam, as crappie often congregate there. Lake Galena has boat rentals available, or you can fish from shore at several designated access points. The crappie in Lake Galena are generally of decent size, and it’s a popular spot for families due to the park’s amenities. Check for any park-specific regulations before your visit.
