Crappie
If crappie are on your mind, Fort Atkinson's interconnected waterways provide ample opportunities. The Rock River and its backwaters are home to a healthy crappie population. Spring is the magic word here, specifically when the water temperatures reach the mid-60s. This is when crappie move into shallow bays and near submerged structure to spawn. Target areas with brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or plastic trailers are deadly. A local hotspot is Lake Koshkonong, a short drive from Fort Atkinson. While it's a larger lake, focus on the weedy bays and channels. Be prepared for some boat traffic, especially on weekends. The crappie in this area tend to be good-sized, with many fish reaching over 10 inches. Be sure to check local regulations regarding creel limits.
