Crappie
If you're looking for some slab-sized crappie in Wisconsin, Johnson Creek offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The main draw is the Crawfish River, which winds its way through the area. Look for crappie in the slower-moving sections, particularly around submerged timber, fallen trees, and weed beds. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn when water temperatures hit the 60s. Fall can also be productive as they fatten up before winter. A small jig tipped with a minnow or plastic grub is a classic and effective presentation. Access can be a bit tricky in some spots, but there are several public access points along County Road B and near the Highway 26 bridge. Be aware that the river can be muddy after heavy rains, so check local conditions before heading out. The crappie in the Crawfish River tend to be good-sized, and you might even find some pushing over the 12-inch mark.
