Crappie
Coon Valley, Wisconsin, offers some fantastic crappie fishing opportunities in its network of small, interconnected waterways and backwater sloughs connected to the larger rivers in the area. What makes this area unique is the abundance of submerged timber and weed beds, providing ideal habitat for crappie to thrive. Spring is prime time, as crappies move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around brush piles and fallen trees in 4-8 feet of water. A small jig tipped with a minnow or plastic grub is deadly. Fall is also productive as crappies fatten up before winter, often schooling tightly near deeper structure. Access to many of these spots is best by kayak or canoe, allowing you to quietly approach prime fishing areas. A local tip: check water clarity before heading out. After heavy rains, the water can become murky, pushing crappies deeper and making them harder to target. Focus on the clearer backwaters in these conditions.
