View Full Version : Spring crappies on LOTW
I have been fall crappie fishing Nestor Falls for years and would like to try it in the spring so one could C&R. I never really thought about doing the spring thing untill this long winter. I would like to hear of any good experences with early season crappies especially in the Nestor Falls and Souix Narrows area. Thanks in advance.
Doc.

The spring bite for crappies varies every year they have been springs in the past that the bite is great. I fish out of Sioux Narrows and have heard of a few good spring bites in areas like Mist Inlet, Blueberry bay and Bear bay. The last two spots are well know crappie at various times through the summer and Mist Inlet is primarily spring and fall.If you have any questions drop me a line.
What lodge do you fish out of when going to Nestor? We have fished a lot the 1st or 2nd week of June and our best crappie fishing is evening off the Sunset Cove Dock, but not reliable. We have had good luck in Nestor area mid Sept. Be interested in your idea of accomidations.
LAST EDITED ON Apr-08-01 AT 01:06PM (CST)[p] Iou, we stay at Helliar's Resort right
at the falls in Nestor Falls. Have been
doing the fall crappie thing for about 6
years. We have always stayed at Helliar's
and have no reason to go any place else.
The cabins are fine, fair priced, dock
service also good. and the crappies are
usually good sized and not to far away.
Walleyes are also there, without the need
of a long ride. Les, Ethel, Glenn, Wayne
and Gloria, the gang at Helliar's, are
very nice and accomadating. They have
several cabins from one bedroom on up.
They also have motel rooms above the
store. Their phone # is 807-484 2400. We
stay there the last week in Sept. every
year. Thanks for the info. for June, Doc E-mail Doctorswede@webtv.net drop a line for any more info.

Thanks

Have fished Blueberry Is for walleye and some northern casting, not crappie. Would be interested in some spring (mid-June) crappie spots as well. Do find some in the little bay back up by Tinkers in Nestor.
Spend most of the time for walleyes and starting to northern fish more. Have been up mid-sept and that seems better for crappie. Last year they really had not started yet.
Always have a good time and able to find a place to catch fish in the Nestor are.
