🐟 Fish Species

Species Population Best technique
Lepomis macrochirus
Good Worms, crickets, small spinners near docks and weeds
Ameiurus nebulosus
Common night-fishing target
Good Bottom fishing at night with nightcrawlers, chicken liver, stink baits, or cut bait on a simple sinker rig. No need for fancy gear -- a cane pole and worm works fine.
Lepomis cyanellus
Good Small spinners, inline buzzbaits, tiny poppers, worms under a bobber, and small jigs. Will hit nearly any lure presented in the right size.
Micropterus salmoides
Good Plastic worms, crankbaits, topwater frogs near lily pads
Ambloplites rupestris
Good Small jigs, spinners, crayfish imitations
Micropterus dolomieu
Good Tubes, drop shot, jigs near rocky points
Sander vitreus
Good Jigs with minnows, crawler harnesses, trolling crankbaits
Perca flavescens
Good Small jigs tipped with minnow or waxworm, small spinners, ice fishing with teardrops and waxworms
Ameiurus natalis
Fair Bottom fishing at dusk and night with nightcrawlers or worms. Light tackle is ideal -- yellow bullhead fight well for their size.
