Crappie
Crappie fishing around Bear Creek, Wisconsin, can be a rewarding experience, particularly if you know where to look. The area's many smaller lakes and backwater sloughs connected to larger river systems provide ideal habitat for these tasty panfish. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow bays to spawn. Look for areas with submerged brush, fallen trees, or weed beds in 4-8 feet of water. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are highly effective. A local trick is to use a slip bobber to suspend your bait just above the cover. Another good time is late summer/early fall as the crappie school up again. Many of the smaller lakes don't have developed boat launches, so be prepared to launch a kayak or canoe. The crappie in this region often run a bit smaller than in larger lakes, but their numbers can be impressive, making for a fun day on the water.
