Crappie
For Crappie fishing near Derby Line, focus on the shallower, weedy sections of the region's lakes and ponds. While Lake Memphremagog is known for other species, smaller bodies of water in the surrounding area often hold good populations of crappie. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the absolute best time to target them, as they move into the shallows to reproduce. Look for them near submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. A key local tip is to use small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles under a bobber. Try fishing near the outlet of smaller ponds where water is moving. Crappie in this area tend to school tightly, so when you find one, you're likely to find more. Remember to handle them carefully, as they are delicate fish.
