Crappie
Crappie fishing near Draper, Utah, requires a bit of a drive, as the immediate area isn't known for this species. Your best bet is to head towards Utah Lake or some of the smaller reservoirs further south. These waters hold decent populations of crappie, especially around submerged structure like brush piles and docks. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallower waters to spawn. Look for them in coves and near vegetation. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A fish finder can be helpful to locate schools of crappie. Access to Utah Lake is readily available via multiple boat ramps and shoreline access points. Be mindful of wind conditions on Utah Lake, as it can get quite choppy. The crappie in these areas are generally of decent size, with the potential for some real slabs if you find the right spot.
