Crappie

Crappie

freshwater

Crappie fishing near Butler, Wisconsin, centers around the Menomonee River and nearby lakes like Pewaukee Lake. These waters offer a mix of shallow, weedy areas and deeper channels that crappie love. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and lily pads. A small jig tipped with a minnow or waxworm is deadly. Fall can also be productive as crappie school up before winter. For shore access, try the public parks along the Menomonee River Parkway. Be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains. Local tip: Pewaukee Lake can get crowded, so consider fishing early or late in the day to avoid the boat traffic. The crappie in this area tend to be good size, with many anglers reporting catches over 10 inches.
