Crappie
Crappie fishing near Redmond, Washington, can be surprisingly good in some of the smaller, less-pressured lakes. Lake Sammamish, while known for salmon, also holds a decent crappie population, particularly around docks and submerged structure. Beaver Lake is another option worth exploring. Spring is the prime time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them near lily pads, brush piles, and fallen trees. Small jigs, tubes, and live minnows are all effective baits. A local tip is to use a slip bobber to suspend your bait at the desired depth, allowing you to easily adjust as needed. Crappie in this area tend to school tightly, so once you find one, you're likely to find more. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
