Crappie
If you're looking to tangle with some crappie near Barre, Vermont, you'll want to focus your efforts on the area's many smaller lakes and ponds. While not a renowned crappie destination, Vermont holds some surprisingly good populations in overlooked areas. Spring is prime time, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged timber or weed beds, especially near drop-offs. Early morning and late evening are usually the most productive times. A small jig tipped with a live minnow or a plastic grub is a classic presentation. Remember to check Vermont's fishing regulations, as some waters may have specific restrictions or closures. Local tip: try accessing some of the smaller, less-traveled ponds via dirt roads. You might find a honey hole that's lightly fished.
