Crappie
While Wyoming isn't the first place that comes to mind for crappie, the reservoirs around Casper, such as Alcova and Pathfinder, surprisingly hold decent populations. The key is knowing where to look. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Focus on submerged structure like brush piles, flooded timber, and weed beds in the backs of coves. Small jigs and minnows suspended under a bobber are your go-to presentations. Pathfinder Reservoir can be challenging due to its fluctuating water levels, so Alcova is often a more consistent option. A local tip: check water clarity, as crappie prefer slightly stained water. If the water is too clear, move around until you find areas with more turbidity.
