Crappie
Crappie fishing near Hanksville, Utah, primarily means heading to Lake Powell. This massive reservoir offers surprisingly good crappie fishing, especially in the backs of canyons and near submerged structure. Spring is the prime time to target crappie as they move into shallower waters to spawn. During this period, look for crappie around submerged brush, trees, and docks. Small jigs, minnows, and crappie tubes are all effective baits. A local tip: use a bobber to suspend your bait at the correct depth, as crappie often hold at specific depths. Also, be aware of the lake's fluctuating water levels, as this can impact crappie location. Check the water levels before your trip. While crappie fishing in Lake Powell may require some searching, the rewards can be well worth the effort, with the potential for catching some sizable fish.
