Just head out on a walk in the river bottom and stop at all the slow moving deeper pools. You can chuck pickerel rigs with worms or minnows and catch sturgeon, pike, walleye, goldeye, and white fish mostly.

IF you want to catch goldeye on the fly just chuck dries early in the morning or later in the evening and you should have no problems.

You can also chuck jigs with grub bodies or tipped with bait.

There is also the classic spoons and or crank baits that can be chucked.

The Old Man is a great place to fish. I spend alot of time at the river bottom, anywhere down there is good. The fishing always seems to slow down in the heat of the day. The best thing about the Old Man is that depending on the season, you can catch different species. As of today I have caught 7 species from my fishing hole on the Old Man this year.:sHa_shakeshout:
I like to use worms or minnows on a pickerel rig. Good Luck out there!
