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.

| Slip bobber and jig | 1/32 oz marabou jig or waxworm suspended at cruising depth |
| Ultralight spinning rod | 6 to 7 ft ultralight, 4 lb line; long casts from the bank |
