What is worth knowing up front without making it complicated: with the record as it stands
The current fish list includes Black Crappie, Blue Catfish, Bluegill, Bowfin, Brook Silverside, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Flathead Catfish, Freshwater Drum, and Gizzard Shad, plus 18 other recorded species; the species relationships give a realistic idea of what is worth targeting, and i would start with a species i already know how to fish for and one good target is plenty for a first visit
