Crappie
Nekoosa, Wisconsin, nestled along the Wisconsin River, offers fantastic crappie fishing, particularly in the backwaters and sloughs connected to the main river channel. These areas provide ideal habitat with plenty of submerged timber and vegetation that crappie love. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into these shallow areas to spawn. Look for them in water depths of 4-8 feet near brush piles and fallen trees. Another excellent time is late fall, when crappie school up before winter. A small jig tipped with a minnow or waxworm is deadly. A key tip for Nekoosa is to pay attention to water clarity; the Wisconsin River can fluctuate. On stained water, use brighter colored jigs and increase your retrieve speed. Public access is available at several boat landings along the river, but be aware of the river's current and any navigational hazards. The crappie here tend to be good sized, with many anglers reporting catches over 12 inches.
