Gear for the fish stocked here
Bluegill and Sunfish
Rod: Light or ultralight spinning rod. A telescoping cane pole is great for kids.
Line: 4 to 8 lb monofilament. Thin 4 lb line draws more bites from big, wary bluegill.
Baits: small worms, waxworms, crickets and grasshoppers
Lures: 1/32 oz jigs, small spinners, small poppers
Northern Pike
Rod: About 7 feet, moderate to medium-heavy action. A sturdy rod handles big lures and lively fish.
Line: Braid of at least 15 lb, or medium-weight mono.
Baits: large minnows, suckers or chubs up to about 8 inches
Lures: spoons, large crankbaits and topwater plugs, spinners
Crappie
Rod: Light or ultralight rod, 4.5 to 8 feet or longer. Longer rods are gentler on their soft mouths.
Line: 4 to 8 lb monofilament; 6 lb is a good default.
Baits: small minnows, waxworms, pieces of nightcrawler
Lures: 1/32 to 1/8 oz jigs with small plastic bodies, small spinners and spinnerbaits, small crankbaits
