Gear for the fish stocked here
Yellow Perch
Rod: Ultralight to medium-light spinning rod. Sensitivity matters more than length.
Line: 6 to 8 lb monofilament; go heavier in weedy water.
Baits: small minnows, worms, waxworms and other insect larvae
Lures: small jigs, small jigging spoons tipped with a waxworm, small spinners
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
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
