   If you are looking for some eating size crappies and some larger slabs, then Colum-bia Countys Lake Wisconsin is the place to go in the spring. We all know that this has been a tough spring with inconsis-tent weather which has made most fishing hot and cold. It is the middle of May and last night we had even had frost in south central Wisconsin! But, the weather looks like it is going to change for the better and hopefully that means better fishing for all species.

    Crappie fishing starts soon after the ice leaves the lake in late March (in a normal year) and steadily improves after the water temperature hits the magic 50 degree mark.
Lake Wisconsin has plenty of choice crappie structure in its numerous shallow bays with dark bottoms that the sun warms quickly attracting hungry crappies. Crappies will move into the bays for the warmer water and forage early in the spring and later spawn when the temperature reaches the low to mid 60s. Concentrate your efforts near brush piles, around any shoreline cover, by fallen trees, and around and under the lakes many docks and piers. There are a few scattered
weeds in some bays, but the constant water flow prevents weeds from growing in
most of the lake.
