JIGS
One of the most versatile and effective combinations for all fish. 3" and 4" plastic tails, colors: yellow, white, green, chartreuse, black, smoke and orange, along with a selection of lead jigheads 1/8, ¼ , 3/8 can be combined with spinner blades.
FOR LIVE BAIT
Lindy rigs, Northland bait spinner rigs in crawler, leech or minnow versions, or make your own rigs. Bring a selection of #2, #4 or #6 hooks. Slip sinkers or split shot in 1/8, ¼ or 3/8 oz. Barrel swivels size 8 or 10.
TACKLE
Two rods and reels of your choice, spools of 6 to 10lb line, stringer, fillet knife, sharpening stone. Tackle should be contained in small tackle box that can be easily packed. One landing net per canoe.
FLY FISHING
Fly rods should be at least a 6 or 7 weight to cast the larger flies necessary to catch fish such as smallmouth bass and northern pike.
Fly Line
Intermediate and full sinking weight-forward lines work well for fishing lakes. Floating weight forward lines work great when the bass and pike are in the shallows.
LEADERS
Should be 2X to 4X depending on the skill of the fisherman.
FLIES
To numerous to name them all. Have a small selection of wet and dry flies. Nymphs, streamers and hard bodied hair and sponge bugs. Trolling flies on heavily weighted lines work well for fishing deeper later in the year.
We carry a complete selection of tackle in our store.
