Habitat
White crappie can be found in large rivers, reservoirs and lakes. White crappie are more tolerant of turbid (murky) waters than black crappie. These crappie usually outnumber black crappie in turbid waters and where there is very little rooted aquatic vegetation. White crappie are most commonly found in rivers and low-velocity areas such as pools and backwaters of rivers. They are most abundant in lakes and reservoirs that are larger than 5 acres.
