Crappie
Crappie fishing near Prentice, Wisconsin, can be quite rewarding, with numerous smaller lakes and flowages holding healthy populations of these panfish. The Chippewa Flowage, while further west, is within reach and known for its excellent crappie fishing. Spring and early summer are the peak times. As the water warms, crappies move into shallow bays and near submerged structure to spawn. Look for them around fallen trees, brush piles, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or plastic trailers are highly effective. Many of the lakes have public boat launches, making access relatively easy. A local tip: use a slip bobber to suspend your bait at the desired depth. This allows you to effectively target crappies holding at different levels in the water column. Be aware of the potential for black crappie to dominate in some lakes, and white crappie in others. Experiment with different lure colors and presentations to find what the fish are biting on each day.
