Crappie
For crappie enthusiasts visiting Spokane Valley, you'll find some decent panfishing opportunities within a short drive. While the Spokane River itself isn't known for its crappie population, several nearby lakes offer productive fishing. Newman Lake, Liberty Lake, and Medical Lake are all worth exploring. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the ideal time to target crappie, as they move into shallow, weedy areas. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or plastic trailers are highly effective. A key local tip is to focus your efforts around submerged structure, such as docks, fallen trees, and weed beds. Crappie tend to school tightly, so once you find one, you're likely to find more. Be mindful of any size and bag limits, as they can vary from lake to lake. The crappie in this region typically range from 8-12 inches, offering a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
