Hey all,
So I have fished very lazily (basic fishing couple times a year). This year with my new dog I want to get out more just to spend some time outdoors for the both of us while fishing more.
I have dones some reading about some local places I am going to check out but I have an inquiry about one specific place, Fairy Lake.
What kind of fish are in there? For the spring, what would be the best type to target? Any special equipment that is a must have (I have two bsic rods right now, one medium action and one jig fast action). I have a basic bait box but I hae 100 bucks to spend on some gear (happy bday to me!)
Any recomendations and or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Oh okay,
Well, there's a few types of fish in there including a variety of panfish like sunfish, rock bass, and crappie, some bullhead catfish, and a few pike. The pike fishing used to be good, but illegal over-harvest have brought down the numbers considerably. There are also a couple of largemouth bass in there as well, but very few and far between. If you're shore fishing, your best bet is to aim for panfish and the bullheads. Slim chance of getting into a pike from the shore, but you never know unless you try...I haven't been there in a couple of years, but I think I may give it a another shot this year on a day I have nothing to do...

Try fishing for carp. All you need to start with is some canned corn for bait. You could also check out the carp section here for some great ideas. PM me if you have any questions.
