Crappie
For crappie anglers near Cambridge, Wisconsin, Lake Ripley is a solid bet. This clear-water lake holds a decent population of crappie, though they can be a bit finicky at times. The best time to target crappie here is during the spring spawn, when they move into the shallows to nest. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed beds in the back bays. Small jigs tipped with minnows or plastics are a crappie staple. A local tip: because of the clear water, crappie tend to be deeper during the day, especially in the summer. Try fishing around deeper structure with a slip bobber rig. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times. While Lake Ripley may not produce trophy crappie, it offers consistent action and a beautiful lake setting.
