Gear for the fish stocked here
Largemouth Bass
Rod: A 6.5 to 7 foot medium action spinning rod is an easy start. Bass rods run 6 to 8 feet, with 7 to 7.5 feet a good all-round length.
Line: 8 to 10 lb mono on spinning gear. For heavy cover, braid of 15 lb or more. Fluorocarbon is a good all-round baitcasting line.
Baits: nightcrawlers, minnows
Lures: soft plastic worms, spinnerbaits, crankbaits
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
