Spring at Parent is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall at Parent can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Parent, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.
A medium spinning rod covers smaller lures at Parent, while a heavier rod and stronger leader are better for northern pike.
At Parent, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
