Seasonal Activity Chart

Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappies in central Wisconsin, Nichols offers some excellent opportunities, especially in the spring and fall. Focus your efforts on the Wolf River and its associated backwaters and sloughs. These areas warm up quickly in the spring, drawing crappies in to spawn. Look for submerged timber, brush piles, and weed edges – these are crappie magnets. Spring crappie fishing really heats up from ice-out through May. A small jig tipped with a minnow or plastic is tough to beat. For fall crappies, target deeper holes and slow-moving sections of the river as the water cools. A local tip: the landings just north of Nichols provide good access to productive stretches of the Wolf. Be mindful of water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly, impacting access and fishing conditions. The crappie population here is healthy, with some real trophies in the mix, so be prepared for a good fight!
