Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing near Selby, South Dakota, centers around the vast and productive Lake Oahe. This Missouri River reservoir offers incredible crappie habitat, especially in the submerged timber, creek channels, and near rocky points. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Focus your efforts in the bays north and south of Selby as the water warms. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive. Small jigs tipped with minnows are a local favorite, fished under a bobber or slowly retrieved. Another great time is during the fall months as the fish are loading up before winter. Be aware that Lake Oahe can be affected by fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before you go. The public boat ramp at the Selby Recreation Area provides excellent access to the lake. Crappie in Oahe can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for some real slabs!
