Crappie
Crappie fishing near Johnson, Vermont, can be rewarding if you know where to look. While not as abundant as in some southern states, crappie can be found in some of the slower-moving sections of the Lamoille River and connected ponds. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Look for them near submerged brush, docks, and other cover. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A key local tip: Focus on areas with darker, warmer water, as these spots tend to warm up quicker in the spring, attracting the crappie. Also, be prepared to move around and search for the schools. Once you find them, you can often catch several in the same area. Remember to check Vermont's fishing regulations for creel limits and size restrictions.
