Crappie
If you're looking for crappie near Tunkhannock, PA, Lake Winola is your best bet. This natural lake boasts a healthy crappie population. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target them, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them near submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes are classic crappie presentations, and a bobber can be helpful for controlling your depth. A local tip: Lake Winola can get crowded, especially on weekends during the spring spawn. Try fishing early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the crowds. Also, pay attention to water clarity; if the water is murky, try using brighter colored jigs. There is a public boat launch available, but it can get busy, so plan accordingly. The crappie in Lake Winola are known for their good size, making it a worthwhile destination for crappie anglers.
