Seasonal Activity Chart

Crappie
Crappie, both black and white varieties, are highly sought-after panfish, prized for their delicious, mild flavor and delicate texture. Found in freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and slow-moving rivers across much of North America, crappie are a favorite target for anglers of all skill levels. Their tendency to school together, especially during the spring spawning season, makes them a rewarding catch, often leading to a tasty fish fry. They're a great species to target on family fishing trips.
Crappie Fishing in Bartlesville
Crappie fishing near Bartlesville, Oklahoma, can be quite productive, especially if you know where to look. Hulah Lake is a popular choice, and for good reason. It holds a good population of both black and white crappie. The best times to target them are during the spring spawn, when they move into shallow water to nest, and again in the fall as the water cools. Look for submerged brush piles, standing timber, and creek channels – these are crappie magnets. A local tactic is to use minnows or small jigs suspended under a bobber. Many anglers also have success spider-rigging multiple rods from a boat. Copan Lake, another nearby option, can also hold good numbers of crappie, particularly around the dam and in the standing timber. The crappie in this region tend to be of decent size, with many exceeding the 10-inch mark. Be sure to check the local regulations regarding creel limits before heading out. Boat ramps are available at both lakes, but can get crowded during peak season.
