Crappie
Crappie fishing around Harrisville, WV, is a delightful pursuit, especially in the numerous small lakes and ponds dotting the landscape. These waters offer relatively clear conditions and plenty of submerged structure that crappie love. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around brush piles, submerged timber, and weed beds. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A local's secret is to try fishing near the Route 50 bridge where it crosses the Little Kanawha River. While the river itself isn't ideal for crappie, the backwater areas and slower-moving sections can hold some surprises. In the fall, crappie will move back into deeper water, so adjust your tactics accordingly. Use your electronics to locate schools of fish and target them with jigs or minnows fished vertically. The crappie here aren't generally huge, but they are plentiful and offer consistent action.
