Fish and Useful Baits at Perrineville Lake
Fish reported from Perrineville Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
Bass
When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Perrineville Lake, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
Crappie anglers on Perrineville Lake 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 Perrineville Lake bluegill around cover.

Chain Pickerel
For Perrineville Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.
