Gear for this water
It has been a while since the trucks came. The holdovers have spread out and wised up; downsize and fish natural.
For the catfish (channel catfish stocked 1 time 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 |
Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
