reservationsThe Tackle Box
It is IMPORTANT to note that whatever you bring you must portage - so don't bring a lot of tackle. Ideally all your gear (minus the filet knife and pliers) should fit into a small Plano or similar tackle box. The list below is comprised of general items that have proven useful over the years. Many of the items do have suggested colors. These are only suggestions, "hot" colors change constantly so don't be afraid to experiment. you also will want to tailor this list towards the type of fishing you plan to do, and don't forget to throw in a couple of your own secret lures. We also highly recommend using live bait. Nightcrawlers and ribbon leeches are the easiest to use and keep alive. We do have a small tackle shop stocked with all the items listed below in the all "hot" colors. Here's What to Bring: Spinning Rod and Reel: Medium action rod with 6-10lb. test line, depending on your skill level and desired species of fish. Hooks: Minimum of 25, bait type with short shank in sizes 6-4. Spinners: "Pre-rigged" hooks with spinner blades, beads and approximately 12 inches of line. Hook sizes from 6-4 with spinner blade colors in chartreuse, silver, hammered brass, yellow, red/white and black/white. Jigs: 1/8 to 3/8 ounce sizes. Hair and Feather Type Jigs: 1/8 to 1/4 ounce sizes in yellow, orange, chartreuse, red and white. For Lake Trout a few 1/2 to 1 ounce jigs in black, white, yellow, red/white, and black/white. Rubber Bodied Jigs: With an without spinner blades in 1/8 to 3/8 ounce sizes. Chartreuse, white, yellow, black, and brown (examples: Mr. Twister and Fuzzee Grubs). Plugs: Both surface and diving. Sizes from 2 to 5 inches (examples: Rapalas, Lazy Ikes, Heddon Torpedoes). Spinner Baits: Such as Mepps in sizes 1 and 2. Sinkers, Split Shot, Slip Sinkers: Bring an assortment of split shot from "bb" size on up; slip sinkers should range from 1/8 to 1/2 ounce. for deep trolling bring 1 to 3 ounce weights. Swivels: Two and three way type. Bobbers: Slip bobbers work well and are the most functional. Stringer: One or two cord stringers work well and are compact. Needle Nose Pliers: For releasing fish.
