Gear for this water

For the walleye (walleye on the season program here)

Crawler harness	slow-trolled over flats and breaks once water warms
Medium spinning rod	6.5 to 7 ft medium, 8 lb line; sensitivity beats power here
Jigging raps and blade baits	vertical over deep structure in the cold months

For the muskie and pike (muskellunge on the season program here)

Large bucktails and gliders	big profile baits; finish every cast with a figure-eight
Steel or heavy fluoro leader	non-negotiable; pike and muskie cut everything else
Oversized landing net	a stocked muskie fishery deserves a proper release tool
