Gear for this water
The last plant has had time to disperse; work outward from the obvious spots.
For the striped bass and hybrids (hybrid striped bass (wiper) stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)
| Flutter spoons and swimbaits | match the shad; count down to suspended fish |
| Live or cut shad | the reservoir standard where legal |
| Topwater walkers | early mornings when they push bait to the surface |
For the catfish (blue catfish stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)
| Circle hooks on a slip-sinker rig | 2/0 to 5/0 circles on a Carolina rig; let them load up |
| Cut bait and prepared baits | fresh cut shad or chicken liver; scent is everything |
| Rod holders | catfishing is a waiting game; fish two rods where legal |
