Fish Species:
Rainbow trout, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, and brown bullhead.
Fishing:
Trout fishing is generally best from mid-April, shortly after they are stocked, until early-June. Fishing is restricted to shore fishing only, so using a bobber is recommended when using bait. A bobber will help keep your bait off the bottom, and give you some added weight when casting. If there is enough of a breeze to move your bobber around, it will aid you in covering more of the pond from shore.
Regulations:
Statewide Fishing Regulations Apply.
Fisheries Management:
Little Choconut 2e is stocked annually with approximately 190 one year-old rainbow trout (8-9").
