Whether or not we are ready for them, warmer days are on the horizon. That means anglers who have spent the winter fishing for trout in Southern Nevada’s urban ponds soon will have to look for other options. One of those options is the crappie, a scrappy little panfish that will hammer your bait and put up a fight much bigger than its size. It also will provide you with a tasty fillet at the dinner table.
