Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappies in western Wisconsin, Menomonie is a great starting point. The numerous lakes and flowages along the Red Cedar River, like Lake Menomin itself, offer excellent crappie habitat. These fish thrive in the weedy bays and near submerged structure. Spring, particularly during the pre-spawn and spawn (late April through May), is prime time. Look for them in shallow bays near reeds and lily pads. Fall, as the water cools, can also be productive as crappies school up before winter. A local tip: try fishing near the old Highway 25 bridge on Lake Menomin; the pilings hold crappies year-round. Also, be aware that the water clarity can vary depending on rainfall, so adjust your presentation accordingly. Light jigs tipped with minnows or plastics under a bobber are usually effective. The crappie population here is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes, so you've got a decent chance at landing some keepers.
