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
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
