Crappie
Crappie fishing near Cottonwood Heights can be productive in several nearby reservoirs. Look to reservoirs like Jordanelle or even smaller, lesser-known ponds in the area. Spring is the prime time, as crappie move shallow to spawn. Focus your efforts near submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs and minnows are effective baits. A local tip: Pay attention to water temperature. Crappie tend to congregate in specific temperature ranges during the spawn, so moving around and using a fish finder can help you locate them. Also, be aware that crappie populations can fluctuate from year to year, so checking local fishing reports or talking to local anglers can give you an idea of the current state of the fishery. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times to fish.
