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 trout (rainbow trout stocked 2 times here in 2026, stillwater)

Slip bobber and jig	1/32 oz marabou jig or waxworm suspended at cruising depth
Ultralight spinning rod	6 to 7 ft ultralight, 4 lb line; long casts from the bank
Dough bait rigs	floating dough bait 18 inches above a small egg sinker; hatchery fish know the smell

For the salmon and steelhead (atlantic salmon stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)

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
Trolling flies and dodgers	for landlocked salmon in the lakes, early and late in the day

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