Black Crappie ice fishing in British Columbia

10 British Columbia lakes on this site have black crappie on record, largest first.

Some records are stocking records, which show what a province has stocked, not everything in the lake.

General black crappie tips

Black crappie suspend over deeper water near weeds or brush; tiny jigs and minnows fished slowly at the depth you mark them.

This is general guidance for the species, written by Ice Fish Canada, not a report from any one lake. Limits, size rules and closures vary by lake, so read the current British Columbia regulations before you fish. Measure the ice yourself: see the ice thickness guidance.
