Crappie
Benton City may not be famous for crappie fishing, but the sloughs and backwaters along the Columbia River offer some hidden gems for slab seekers. Focus your efforts in the calmer, shallower areas with submerged structure, such as fallen trees or weed beds. These provide cover and attract crappie. Spring is the prime time to target crappie as they move into these areas to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes are effective baits. Look for areas where the Yakima River flows into the Columbia, as these areas often hold crappie. Early morning and late evening are usually the most productive times to fish. A kayak or small boat will allow you to access the best crappie habitat. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size and bag limits. The crappie here might not be trophy-sized, but a steady bite can make for a fun and rewarding day.
