Crappie
Crappie fishing near Townville, PA, centers around Woodcock Creek Lake. This lake is known for holding a healthy population of crappie, making it a popular destination for anglers. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie as they move into the shallows to spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged brush piles, fallen trees, and docks in the coves. Small jigs tipped with minnows are a classic and effective presentation. As the water warms in the summer, crappie will move deeper, suspending around structure. Use your fish finder to locate them and adjust your presentation accordingly. A tip for Woodcock Creek Lake: the crappie tend to school tightly, so once you find one, you're likely to find more. The average size is good, with many fish reaching 10-12 inches. The boat launch provides easy access, but be prepared for some boat traffic during peak season.
