Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing near Pigeon Falls centers around the backwaters and sloughs connected to the Trempealeau River. These areas offer the shallow, weedy habitat that crappie thrive in. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn (typically May), is the absolute best time to target them, as they congregate in large numbers in the shallows. Small jigs tipped with minnows or plastics are highly effective. A slip bobber rig is ideal for presenting your bait at the correct depth. As the water warms in summer, crappie tend to move to deeper water, often around submerged structure. Fall can also be productive as they feed up before winter. Access to these backwaters can be limited, so a small boat, canoe, or kayak is recommended. Local tip: Focus your efforts around submerged brush piles and fallen trees – these are crappie magnets. The crappie population in this area is generally good, with the potential for catching some decent-sized slabs.
