Crappie
For crappie anglers visiting Oxford, PA, several smaller lakes and ponds offer opportunities to target these tasty panfish. While you might not find record-breakers, a fun day of fishing and a decent meal are definitely within reach. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Focus your efforts around structure like submerged brush, docks, and weed edges. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are a classic and effective presentation. Try fishing at the Chester Water Authority Reservoir; while primarily a water source, it allows fishing and holds a decent crappie population. Check for specific regulations regarding boat use and access. A slow, steady retrieve or fishing under a bobber are both productive techniques. Remember to downsize your line and use light tackle for best results.
