Fish reported from Lake Parsippany include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Lake Parsippany.

Crappie anglers on Lake Parsippany should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Lake Parsippany bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Lake Parsippany should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Chain Pickerel

A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Lake Parsippany.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Parsippany

When to Fish Lake Parsippany

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Lake Parsippany fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Lake Parsippany may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Lake Parsippany fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
