I'm partial to Bluegill, if only because of my dad's (which was his father's, which was his, and so on and so forth) preferred method of frying. I would assume that the O
NR is in charge of the lake's stock, and so forth. It's a shallow, silt bed lake, fed by 2 rivers, and housing a spillway / Dam.
It's just weird. You would find a Crappie or two when I was a kid, but you would never go "crappie fishing" because the numbers just weren't there to do so, and the Bluegill were plentiful. Now, the opposite is almost true. I Pretty much fish for only "bigger" fish now, and let the kids bobber fish for the pan stuff. So far this year, the warm winter seems to have royally messed up the river / lake system. I haven't caught anything resembling a "big guy" in the lake (which boasts a fair amount of species), except for carp. No Pike, Walleye, Saugeye, Catfish, or Muskie so far. Just Carp, and not even many of them. I would have been excited as a kid to catch carp, I always thought they were really cool, but now they are just a fun fight, I'm certainly not eating it.
