Crappie
If you're after some tasty crappie, Oak Valley and the surrounding area offer good opportunities. Focus your efforts on the private lakes and larger public reservoirs nearby. Crappie tend to congregate around submerged structure, such as brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Spring is an excellent time to target them as they move into shallower water to spawn. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near these structures. A fish finder can be very helpful for locating submerged cover and schools of crappie. Many anglers have success using crappie nibbles to entice bites. Remember to check the local fishing regulations for size and bag limits before you head out. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as crappie tend to prefer slightly stained water.
