Crappie
If you're after crappie near Fontana, Geneva Lake is your destination. This deep, clear lake offers excellent crappie fishing, particularly in the spring and fall. Spring crappie congregate in shallow bays and near submerged structure as the water warms up for the spawn. Target areas around piers, docks, and brush piles with small jigs and minnows suspended under a bobber. In the fall, crappie tend to move deeper, often suspending near submerged timber or weed edges. Try using a slip bobber rig to present your bait at the correct depth. One local trick is to focus on areas with slightly stained water, as these areas tend to warm up faster in the spring and hold more crappie. Access is available at several public boat launches around the lake. Geneva Lake crappie are known for their size and good numbers, making it a popular destination for anglers.
