This is a summary based on available information.

Very shallow, stained lakes like Little John often produce good numbers of panfish, largemouth bass, and pike, with fish comfortable feeding in shallow cover much of the time. Anglers usually work emergent vegetation, small channels, and any slightly deeper cuts with spinnerbaits, weedless plastics, and live bait under floats. Low clarity allows for effective power fishing even on bright days, while early and late periods can bring flurries of shallow strikes along the edges of heavier weeds. For cabin owners, Little John offers an easy, close-range fishery where action and scenery often matter more than fish size alone.
