Smallmouth Bass Fishing
Use the boats on Carpenter and a nearby lake to catch smallmouth bass. Living in weed beds and along rocky shorelines, smallmouth bass are aggressive in the warm days of summer and give a vigorous fight with rapid darting motions. Worms and bright colored artificial tackle are good attractants; you can easily connect with numerous small bass and some biggies up to 5 pounds.
Northern Pike Fishing
Carpenter and two nearby lakes are home to northern pike that come in a range of weights up to fifteen pounds. You can entice a northern using artificial tackle and by spin casting from the boats on these lakes. Small northerns are an easy catch in some locations and are an enjoyable fishing experience for children.
