Folks 16 and over must have a state fishing license. Crappies are a small freshwater panfish that typically weigh an average of six ounces to one pound and measure less than 13 inches. Crappies are found in areas with underwater vegetation, brushpiles, and other submerged structures. They feed on minnows and spawn in Ohio waters during late spring. To fish for crappies use doll flies and maribou jigs, or live minnows under a bobber around fallen trees, stumps, and brush in 2-6 feet of water along shore.
Children also love fishing for sunfish.
