The last plant has had time to disperse; work outward from the obvious spots.
For the trout (rainbow trout stocked 9 times here in 2026, stillwater)

| Casting spoons | 1/8 to 1/4 oz in fluorescent or metallic; count down until you find the depth |
| Small crankbaits | trout-pattern cranks trolled or slow-retrieved off points |
