Crappie
Eagle River is a crappie angler's paradise, largely due to its interconnected chain of 28 lakes. This unique system provides diverse habitats, from shallow, weedy bays perfect for spawning to deeper, clearer waters where crappies congregate later in the season. Spring is prime time, as crappies move into the shallows to spawn when water temperatures reach the mid-60s. Look for them around submerged timber, docks, and weed edges. A small jig tipped with a minnow or plastic is deadly. As the water warms, crappies move deeper, often suspending around submerged structure in 10-15 feet of water. Summer evenings can be productive around lighted docks. Access is readily available via numerous public boat launches and shore fishing spots around the chain. Be aware that the Eagle River Chain can get busy during peak season, so plan accordingly and consider fishing during weekdays or off-peak hours for a more peaceful experience. The crappies in this system tend to be good size, with many exceeding 10 inches.
