Crappie
Crappie fishing near Lyford, Texas, can be surprisingly productive if you know where to look. While there aren't any massive reservoirs nearby, the smaller resacas and irrigation canals around the area can hold decent populations of crappie, particularly during the cooler months. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, brush piles, and any other structure that provides cover. Minnows fished under a slip bobber are a classic crappie presentation, but small jigs can also be effective, especially in slightly clearer water. The best time to target crappie is typically in the spring, as they move into shallower water to spawn. Early morning and late afternoon are often the most productive times of day. Access to these smaller bodies of water is often limited to private land, so be sure to obtain permission before fishing. The crappie in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers.
