Lynchburg Crappie

I am wanting to start crappie fishing this year after being a flat head catfish fisherman for years. I really wanted to start last year but the weather and river level's have really made it difficult.

So If I want to add the best eating fish to my freezer in the Lynchburg area (can be anywhere like Monican Park, or Big Island) I am open for ideas. I know I have to retire my big rods but I can do that....

I don't know that area but welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard. The Mountain Man will be along with some helpful ideas for you area.

welcome

Sandy Creek other side of Farmville is good but the best crappie fishing is Buggs Island

James River crappie are hard to find. 3 public lakes in Amherst, Stonehouse, Mill Creek and Thrasher all good for crappie. Smith Mountain is closest best place.

Thanks Mountain Man. I am familiar with the Amherst lakes but may give SML a try.

Try Lake Orange
