Just south of Lexington, the 1,860 acres of Herrington Lake supply plenty of spring crappie action. This narrow, winding lake is in Mercer, Boyle and Garrard counties, and for anglers who take the time to locate the prime crappie habitat, there are plenty of crappie for the taking.

During warm spells in March, these tasty panfish can be found in shallow cover in coves near areas where creeks enter the lake. Much natural cover is present in such locations. This is a lake of clear, deep water with steep walls. The coves provide anglers with excellent crappie numbers at this time of year, despite the clarity of the water.

Persistence and patience are the recommended approaches to crappie fishing at Herrington. Searching out submerged logs, trees, stumps and other crappie cover in addition to the cove areas of the lake will increase the odds of casting into crappie thickets.

Other good locations are the docks scattered around the lake. Artificial jigs that are white or chartreuse are reported to produce excellent results in the coves as well as near the dock covers, and a long casting reel with 4-pound-test line can haul in the crappie with few problems.
