For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Slates Reservoir sits 3 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Manfull Lake if anything is unclear.
