Gear for this water

The last plant has had time to disperse; work outward from the obvious spots.

For the trout (rainbow trout stocked 6 times here in 2026, moving water)

Waders or wet-wading boots	stocked stream fish stack in the obvious pools; getting to the next one is the edge
Light spinning rod	5 to 6.5 ft light or ultralight; short rods cast under branches
Inline spinners	1/16 to 1/8 oz silver or gold; swing them across the current seams

For the catfish (channel catfish stocked 3 times here in 2026, moving water)

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
Medium-heavy rod	7 ft medium-heavy, 15 to 20 lb line, sturdy reel
