Gear for this water
It has been a while since the trucks came. The holdovers have spread out and wised up; downsize and fish natural.
For the walleye (saugeye stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)
| 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 bass (largemouth bass stocked 1 time here in 2026, stillwater)
| Stick worms and soft plastics | weightless stick worms around cover; Texas rig in wood |
| Spinnerbaits and squarebills | cover water along banks and riprap |
| Finesse jigs | for the fish that have seen everything else |
Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
