Welcome to OFF.
This is the right time, to start hitting it. Fern Ridge Reservoir, is a good bet. Have heard of peeps who fish OFF of the Marina Docks, at night with jigs. Apparently the dock's lights attracts the fish.
The Long Tom River, also has lots of crappie. BELOW Fern Ridge. There are no crappie, above the Res. They like the brush / shrubs near the bank. One spot to try is below the break dam, at Monroe. There's a park near that bridge, on Hwy. 99. And a road that goes back, and along the river. May only be 4X4 accessible, until the mud dries. But you can still walk along and fish from the bank.
Once you hook one, unbutton it quickly. Then toss your jig back into the same pocket. They swim around in schools.
Let us know, how you do.
