Gear for this water

Stocked within the last three weeks: fish are still bunched near the release points and keyed on familiar smells.

For the catfish (catfish stocked 2 times here in 2026, stillwater)

Cut bait and prepared baits	fresh cut shad or chicken liver; scent is everything
Rod holders	catfishing is a waiting game; fish two rods where legal
Medium-heavy rod	7 ft medium-heavy, 15 to 20 lb line, sturdy reel

For the trout (trout stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)

Casting spoons	1/8 to 1/4 oz in fluorescent or metallic; count down until you find the depth
Small crankbaits	trout-pattern cranks trolled or slow-retrieved off points
Slip bobber and jig	1/32 oz marabou jig or waxworm suspended at cruising depth

Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
