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 walleye (walleye stocked 2 times here in 2026, stillwater)
| 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 |
| Jig and minnow | 1/8 to 1/4 oz round jigs tipped live or plastic; drag the bottom slowly |
For the striped bass and hybrids (hybrid striped bass (wiper) stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)
| Live or cut shad | the reservoir standard where legal |
| Topwater walkers | early mornings when they push bait to the surface |
| Medium-heavy rod | 7 ft with 15 lb line minimum; hybrids hit like freight |
