Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts in the Woonsocket, South Dakota area can find decent fishing opportunities in the smaller lakes and reservoirs scattered throughout the region. These waters often hold good populations of crappie, although they may not reach trophy sizes. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are effective baits. Look for crappie around submerged timber, brush piles, and docks. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; crappie tend to prefer slightly stained water. Also, be aware that some of these smaller lakes can be difficult to access without a small boat or kayak. Check regulations regarding size and creel limits, as they can vary from lake to lake. While not a renowned crappie destination, these smaller waters offer a chance to catch a respectable mess of crappie with the right approach.
