Crappie
Crappie fishing near Napavine, Washington, centers around the smaller lakes and reservoirs dotting the landscape of Lewis County. Mayfield Lake and Riffe Lake, while known for other species, can hold surprisingly good populations of crappie, especially in the quieter coves and backwaters. The best time to target them is during the pre-spawn period in the spring (April-May) when they move into shallower water to prepare for spawning. Look for submerged structure like fallen trees or weed beds, as crappie love to congregate around these areas. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. A key tip for Mayfield Lake is to access the lake from the Ike Kinswa State Park boat launch; it provides excellent access to prime crappie habitat. Remember that crappie in these systems can be relatively slow-growing, so practicing selective harvesting and releasing larger individuals helps maintain a healthy population. Also, check WDFW regulations for any specific size or bag limits before you head out.
