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.

| Casting spoons | 1/8 to 1/4 oz in fluorescent or metallic; count down until you find the depth |

| Slip bobber and jig | 1/32 oz marabou jig or waxworm suspended at cruising depth |
Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
