Gear for this water
For the trout (rainbow trout on the season program here)
| Waders or wet-wading boots | stocked stream fish stack in the obvious pools; getting to the next one is the edge |
| 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 striped bass and hybrids (white bass on the season program here)
| Medium-heavy rod | 7 ft with 15 lb line minimum; hybrids hit like freight |
| Flutter spoons and swimbaits | match the shad; count down to suspended fish |
| Live or cut shad | the reservoir standard where legal |
