Crappie
If you're heading to Friesland, Wisconsin with crappie on your mind, you're in for a treat. This area boasts several productive freshwater spots known for holding good populations of these panfish. Look to the local canals and backwaters connected to the larger Fox River system. These areas offer the slower currents and submerged structure that crappie love. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Focus on areas with brush piles, fallen trees, or docks. A small jig tipped with a minnow or waxworm is hard to beat. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times. A local tip: check water clarity before heading out. After heavy rains, the water can become murky, pushing the crappie deeper or into clearer backwater areas. The crappie in this region tend to run in the 9-12 inch range, with the occasional larger fish mixed in. Remember to check the Wisconsin DNR regulations for size and bag limits.
