Crappie
Crappie fishing around Deerfield offers some great opportunities, particularly in the Yahara River chain of lakes and associated backwaters. These fish thrive in the weedy shallows and submerged structure that these waters provide. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the absolute best time to target crappie. Look for them in shallow bays and near submerged brush piles as the water warms. A simple jig tipped with a minnow or plastic grub is often all you need. Summer can also be productive, but the crappie tend to move deeper, relating to submerged timber or weed edges. Try fishing around bridge pilings or docks as well. A local tip: The backwaters and sloughs off the main Yahara channel can be less pressured than the main lake areas, offering a better chance at finding larger crappie. Check water levels before heading out, as these areas can become inaccessible during low water conditions.
