Gear for this water

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

For the trout (rainbow trout stocked 4 times here in 2026, stillwater)

Casting spoons	1/8 to 1/4 oz in fluorescent or metallic; count down until you find the depth
Small crankbaits	trout-pattern cranks trolled or slow-retrieved off points
Slip bobber and jig	1/32 oz marabou jig or waxworm suspended at cruising depth

For the catfish (channel catfish stocked 3 times 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
