Crappie
Oakesdale, Washington, while primarily known for its agriculture, offers some surprisingly good crappie fishing in nearby smaller lakes and ponds. These aren't large, well-known fisheries, which contributes to their charm and potential for unpressured fish. Focus your efforts on the spring spawn (late April-May) when crappie move into the shallows to nest. Early mornings and evenings are prime times. Look for structure like submerged trees, docks, or weed beds, as crappie love to congregate around cover. A simple jig under a bobber is often all you need. A local tip: ask around at the Oakesdale Grain Growers; they often have intel on which private ponds are fishing well and if access is possible. Remember to always ask permission before fishing on private land. The crappie here aren't giants, averaging 8-10 inches, but their willingness to bite makes for fun and productive days.
