Gear for this water
The last plant has had time to disperse; work outward from the obvious spots.
For the trout (cutthroat trout stocked 4 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 |
| Slip bobber and jig | 1/32 oz marabou jig or waxworm suspended at cruising depth |
For the muskie and pike (tiger muskellunge stocked 2 times here in 2026, stillwater)
| 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 |
| Large bucktails and gliders | big profile baits; finish every cast with a figure-eight |
Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
