The sun glints off the calm waters of Oologah Lake. Our boat glides smoothly across the surface. The air is crisp and invigorating. Rods are ready baited with live minnows. We approach a promising spot near some submerged timber. The first cast lands with a soft plop. Moments later the line goes taut. A fight ensues. The crappie breaks the surface thrashing wildly. It's a good-sized one measuring about 15 inches. We admire its dark mottled pattern before releasing it back into the cool depths. The day is young and full of possibilities.

Summary
Venture into the heart of Oklahoma for an unforgettable fishing experience in Adair, where the serene waters of Spencer Creek beckon anglers in pursuit of the elusive black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus). As you cast your line into the tranquil creek, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of nature, anticipation builds for the telltale tug of a crappie on your hook. These popular panfish, known for their speckled appearance and delectable white flesh, thrive in the creek's cool, clear waters. Equip yourself with light tackle, including ultralight rods and reels spooled with 4-6 pound test line, to enhance your chances of success. Minnows and small jigs are particularly effective baits for enticing these cautious fish. As you navigate the creek's meandering path, keep an eye out for submerged structures like fallen trees and rocky outcroppings, which serve as prime habitats for crappie. Early morning and late evening hours often yield the best results, as these periods align with the crappie's most active feeding times. Whether you're an experienced angler or a novice seeking a peaceful day on the water, Spencer Creek offers a picturesque setting for a memorable crappie fishing adventure in the heart of Oklahoma's natural beauty.

Prime Fishing Spot
The creek's gentle current and numerous overhanging branches offer excellent cover for crappie. Anglers can be seen positioned along the shoreline casting their lines into promising pools and eddies.

Seasonal Considerations
