Crappie
Paris, Texas, provides some excellent crappie fishing opportunities, particularly in the spring. Pat Mayse Lake is the standout location. This lake is known for its abundant crappie population, thriving in the lake's numerous timber stands and brush piles. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the peak season. Focus your efforts around submerged trees and brush in the coves, using jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber. As the water warms, move to deeper structure. A local angler's trick is to use brightly colored jigs in the stained water of Pat Mayse. Also, be mindful of the lake's fluctuating water levels, as this can impact crappie location. The crappie in Pat Mayse are generally good size, with many fish exceeding a pound, making for a rewarding fishing experience.
