Old
Bridge Golf Club
Royalty's Fishing Camp 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.
