Crappie
Waukesha County offers some excellent crappie fishing opportunities, particularly in its numerous smaller lakes and flowages. Spring is prime time, as crappies move into shallow bays and near submerged structure to spawn. Focus your efforts in areas with brush piles, fallen trees, or weed beds in depths of 4-8 feet. Anglers should also find success in the fall as crappies school up before winter. Pewaukee Lake, though larger, can also hold good crappie populations, especially around its weedy edges and channels. A local tip: Many of the smaller lakes have limited public access, so be sure to scout out launch points or shoreline fishing areas in advance. Some of these lakes also experience heavy recreational use during the summer months, making early morning or late evening fishing the most productive. The crappie in Waukesha tend to run on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers, providing consistent action.
