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 salmon and steelhead (kokanee stocked 3 times here in 2026, stillwater)

Medium spinning rod	8 to 9 ft with 8 to 12 lb line; big water, big runs
Spoons and spinners	1/4 to 1/2 oz metal; cast across and swing through the run
Beads and egg imitations	drifted under a float where bait rules allow

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