Gear for this water
For the walleye (walleye on the season program here, stillwater)
| 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 |
Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
