Crappie
If you're looking for some panfish action near Gold Bar, Washington, you might be surprised to find crappie in some of the smaller, overlooked lakes and sloughs connected to the Skykomish River. While not a renowned crappie destination, these quieter backwaters can hold decent populations. Spring is prime time, as the fish move into shallower areas to spawn when water temperatures rise. Try fishing around submerged logs, docks (if any exist), and weed edges with small jigs or live minnows under a bobber. Access can be tricky in some areas, so be prepared for some bushwhacking to reach the water. Be sure to check local regulations, as some areas may have restrictions on motorized boats or specific fishing seasons. A kayak or canoe is ideal for navigating these waters. Remember that water levels can fluctuate significantly, especially after heavy rains or snowmelt, so check the forecast before you head out.
