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
