Crappie
River Hills, Wisconsin, offers some surprisingly good crappie fishing opportunities, especially in the backwaters and sloughs connected to the Milwaukee River. What makes this area special is the mix of slow-moving water, abundant submerged timber, and lily pads – perfect habitat for crappie to spawn and thrive. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn when water temperatures hit the 60s. Look for them around brush piles and fallen trees. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times. A small jig tipped with a minnow or waxworm is tough to beat. For shore access, try the areas around some of the smaller county parks along the river. Be mindful of private property and stick to designated access points. The crappie here tend to run a bit smaller than in some of the larger impoundments further north, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. You can often find a mess of pan-sized crappie with a little persistence.
