Locals report crappie fishing at Mosquito Creek Lake is better than most lakes within a 75 mile radius. Spring is the premiere time to be on the water as crappie move into shallow coves to spawn. Docks, brush, wood, vegetation are a good place to cast small crappie jigs or live minnows. Light tackle with 4-pound line is ideal. Locals use fish finders to locate schools of crappie, which tend to stack vertically around cover. In spring and fall focus on the 5 to 10 foot range.

Mosquito Creek Lake has very subtle depth changes, virtually creating flat areas at any depth the walleye prefer. Fishing at dusk, through the night into dawn can really enhance the chance of catching a trophy walleye here. Trolling deep-diving crankbaits, like the Bandit works well, as does drifting with jigs - ideally tipped with worms or minnows.
