Gear for the fish stocked here
Walleye
Rod: Medium action spinning rod, 6 to 7.5 feet, for jigs and live bait. Medium to medium-heavy, 6.5 to 9 feet, for crankbaits and trolling.
Line: 6 to 10 lb for jigs and bait, 10 to 12 lb for crankbaits and trolling. Mono, fluorocarbon or braid all work.
Baits: minnows, nightcrawlers, leeches
Lures: lead-head jigs with 3 to 4 inch curly tail grub or shad plastics, blade baits, deep diving crankbaits
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
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
