Local Species Insights: Crappie
Crappie thrive in Lake Toho's nutrient-rich waters, feeding on small baitfish, insects, and crustaceans around the lake's extensive structure. These schooling fish move seasonally between shallow spawning areas and deeper winter haunts, making local knowledge essential for consistent success. Spring offers the most exciting action as crappie move shallow to spawn, while fall fishing can be equally productive as fish feed heavily before winter.
The lake's healthy crappie population includes both black and white crappie, with many fish in the 10-12 inch range providing excellent table fare. Captain Mark Gay uses proven techniques including vertical jigging around structure, spider rigging in open water, and precise casting to visible cover during spawning periods.
