Gear for this water

For the walleye (walleye on the season program here)

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
Jig and minnow	1/8 to 1/4 oz round jigs tipped live or plastic; drag the bottom slowly

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

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
Heavy casting rod	7.5 to 9 ft heavy with 65 to 80 lb braid; these fish punish light gear
