Crappie
Crappie fishing near Henry, South Dakota, can be a delightful experience, especially if you know where to look. The numerous smaller lakes and sloughs in the area offer ideal habitat for these panfish. Spring is prime time, as the crappies move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure like brush piles, weed beds, and docks. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a crappie nibble is a classic and effective presentation. Many of the smaller lakes are accessible from the shore, but a small boat or kayak can open up even more fishing opportunities. Be aware that some lakes may have specific regulations regarding boat motors, so check local guidelines before heading out. The crappie in this region tend to school tightly, so once you find them, you can often catch several from the same spot.
