Crappie
If you're looking to tangle with some crappie in Vermont, Morrisville offers a few solid options. The local reservoirs and ponds, particularly those connected to the Lamoille River watershed, can hold decent populations. These fish often congregate around submerged structure like fallen trees and weed beds, so target those areas. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Early morning and late evening are usually the most productive times. A small jig under a bobber is a classic crappie presentation, and minnows work well too. Be aware that some of the smaller ponds can be accessed via dirt roads that may be rough, especially after rain, so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended. Check the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website for specific regulations on size and bag limits for each water body.
