Crappie
Crappie fishing near Egan, South Dakota, can be rewarding if you know where to look. The best opportunities are found in the smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area. These bodies of water often have submerged structure, such as brush piles and fallen trees, which crappie love to congregate around. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn (typically late April to early June), is the peak season. Look for crappie in shallow water near vegetation. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A helpful tip: find the warmest water in the lake on cooler days, as crappie will often be concentrated there. Ice fishing for crappie in the winter can also be productive. Check local regulations regarding ice thickness and safety before venturing out.
