Gear for this water

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

For the walleye (saugeye stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)

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
Crawler harness	slow-trolled over flats and breaks once water warms

For the catfish (channel catfish stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)

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
Circle hooks on a slip-sinker rig	2/0 to 5/0 circles on a Carolina rig; let them load up
