Gear for this water

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

Inline spinners	1/16 to 1/8 oz silver or gold; swing them across the current seams
Drifted bait	single salmon egg or half a crawler under light split shot, rolled along the bottom
Small jerkbaits	floating minnows in the 2 to 3 inch class for the deeper bends

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