Come out and have some fun on the local pond.

Emigrant Lake is close by. It can be fished from a boat or from shore. You may get a tug from crappie, smallmouth, largemouth, perch or trout. You can “bobber fish” (fly under an indicator) or strip leeches/wooly buggers/streamers on a sinking line or troll your favorite stillwater pattern.

The park is a fee area ($4/day). If you have an annual Jackson County Parks pass, you’re good. We’ll meet at the North boat ramp at 10am. It’s the last stop before the campground at The Point. Depending on lake level there may be some parking off the left side of the ramp. If not, park near the top of the ramp.

I’ll suggest places to try whether you’re on foot or will be fishing from a boat or float tube/’toon boat.
Gear wise, the fish aren’t too picky. A 5, 6 or 7 wt rod matched with a floating and/or intermediate sinking line is good. The crappie seem to find a brown balanced leech, #8 or #10, under an indicator hard to resist.

Bring plenty of water to drink. Apply sunscreen before you get there.
