Gear for this water
The last plant has had time to disperse; work outward from the obvious spots.
For the panfish (yellow perch stocked 1 time here in 2026, moving water)
| Live bait | waxworms, crickets, and redworms out-fish everything for bluegill |
| Small tubes and grubs | 1 to 2 inch plastics for crappie around brush |
| Long telescoping pole | reach the pockets without spooking the school |
For the walleye (saugeye stocked 1 time here in 2026, moving water)
| Crawler harness | slow-trolled over flats and breaks once water warms |
| Medium spinning rod | 6.5 to 7 ft medium, 8 lb line; sensitivity beats power here |
| Jigging raps and blade baits | vertical over deep structure in the cold months |
Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
