Fishing Gear
 
It doesn't take anything special to fish for crappie in Canada. In fact, just the basic equipment that you would use anywhere else will work just fine.

Ultra-light rod and reels are always the best choice when you go fishing for crappie. It is also suggested that your rod be at least eight feet long for the best results. The reel should have a good drag system and light test line is recommended, usually the two or three pound line works the best. You may want to go a little heavier if you are in an area where the larger crappie can be found.

  You will need an assortment of hooks and lures so you can accommodate the crappie if they happen to be in a picky mood. Even though you don't need a lot of fancy and expensive equipment to fish for crappie, you should buy good quality products. The hooks also need to be sharp and the ones with the short shank are usually best for crappie fishing. When crappie fishing in Canada the chartreuse color is normally the best option followed by green, white and black. The florescent color jigs also work very well in these waters.
 
Anytime you go fishing in unfamiliar waters you should exercise extreme caution. Lakes and rivers can be dangerous and many unexpected obstacles can cause serious accidents. If you are not an experienced boater that is use to different types of water conditions, then you should enlist the help of a guide service to take you out on the water. Safety should always be your first priority to make sure every trip is a fun and exciting one. This makes it possible to return for many more great fishing trips.
