Crappie
Crappie fishing near Yorkana, PA, can be very rewarding, particularly in the impoundments of the Susquehanna River. Lake Clarke is a notable spot, offering plenty of submerged structure and cover that crappie love. The best times to target crappie are during the pre-spawn in spring (April-May) when they move into shallower water to prepare for spawning, and again in the fall as water temperatures cool. Look for submerged trees, brush piles, and docks in coves and backwaters. A local's secret is to use live minnows under a slip bobber, adjusting the depth until you find where the fish are holding. Another effective technique is to slowly troll small jigs tipped with crappie nibbles. The crappie in this region tend to school tightly, so once you find one, you're likely to find more. Keep an eye on your electronics to locate submerged structure and schools of fish.
