In 2009, Lake Pleasant is going to be stocked with a lot of rainbow trout but did you know that this small lake is home to other gamefish as well? Huge Northern Pike are caught here, as well as, some pretty nice sized largemouth bass. The lake is also good fishing for panfish and these along with the trout are routinely caught through the ice. During the spring and early summer, huge bluegills can be caught from shore or from boat. The best time to pursue them is usually in the early mornings and I have been out there catching them one after another and then the sun gets up and they shut off like a lightbulb being turned off.
A couple seasons ago, my brother, nephew, and I headed out to Lake Pleasant to do some fishing. It was still late April and the other fisherman were not doing so well. I decided I would try using a bobber with a small worm and catch a few bluegills. This was the ticket. I wasn't catching bluegills but I started reeling the trout in one after another. I quickly had my limit of eight and went over to tell my brother and nephew to do the same thing. They had one trout but that was all. They switched to the bobbers dangling a worm and they both quickly had their limits also.
Othertimes at Lake Pleasant, I was targeting trout and started catching bluegills. So if you venture out to Lake Pleasant and aren't catching the species you went for, change your tactics and catch something else that's biting. May your lines be tight and your hooks be happy!
