![]() ![]() ![]() If you visit a resort or camp in crappie country, the folks at these places can likely lead you in the right direction to find crappies depending on the time of your visit. These fall spots are good throughout the winter for those of you looking to have some fun on the ice as well. ![]() In the spring, a couple of weeks after the ice is out, crappies move into shallow shoreline cover like reeds and cattails to spawn. They will hang around these shallow areas before dispersing out into deeper weed beds where they will spend the summer. In the fall, crappies school up in deep basins of the bays or lakes that they live in where anglers can use their electronics to find fish and have fun catching a bunch of them. In addition to the popular species, we have another group of fish that are not as glamorous, maybe aren’t as good to eat, or don’t grow large, but they exist across the region and offer even more tremendous fishing options.Ĭrappies could be included in the above group of popular fish because many anglers fish for them throughout the year, but many more anglers might not know that some of the best crappie fishing on the planet exists across the Sunset Country Region, particularly in the southwest corner of the region around Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake.īoth of the big lakes have populations of trophy crappies scattered throughout them- I’m talking 14” and 15” slabs-but many of the smaller lakes around these big lakes have crappies as well. Walleye are the most popular fish to target for both locals and visitors. Musky are high on the hit list of anglers visiting our region and bass seem to be growing in popularity amongst both locals and visiting anglers. We have world-class opportunities for each of these species so it’s no wonder they receive a lot of attention. Most anglers who reside in the Sunset Country Region and most anglers who visit us hit the water in search of walleye, pike, musky, bass, or lake trout. ![]()
