Crappie
For crappie enthusiasts in Vermont, Bellows Falls presents a worthwhile destination. The Connecticut River, which flows through Bellows Falls, and nearby smaller lakes offer suitable habitat for crappie. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow, protected areas to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. Targeting these areas with small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber is a proven tactic. Local knowledge suggests that the backwaters and slower-moving sections of the Connecticut River near Bellows Falls are particularly productive. Access can be gained via several public boat launches and shoreline access points. Be sure to check the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website for current regulations regarding crappie size and bag limits. Also, be prepared for varying water conditions, as the Connecticut River can be affected by seasonal changes and dam releases. Patience and persistence are key to success when targeting crappie in this area.
