Steinhagen experience anyone?

[Pusher]

I'm looking to get out of the house a few hours without a lot of fuss. Anyone have knowledge of Steinhagen? Bass or crappie, bait or fly fishing is fine. I had hoped for this weekend,but it's looking more like next week.

Steinhagen can be excelent. If I were going to kayak it, Id launch at the launch right before the bridge and fish the little pond area there. Lots of vegatation. If that didnt produce, you can always paddle out to the main lake and fish the banks.

I have always wanted to launch at Walnut Ridge and paddle north and get in the backwater and sloughs. I think much of that is covered in lily pads.

I had a number of good spots 30 years ago. Several are silted in now and the pond Chris mentioned was one of them.

All this water might prove helpful. Vegetation has always required extra effort. Poppers will probably deliver sunfish, but they're a hoot on a 2-3 wt. Bass may be recovering from the spawn and I might get an aggravation strike if I can irritate them enough. I'll give it early morning effort.
Thanks for your input.

Fished Walnut Ridge last weekend and caught 5 over the whole 4 day weekend. I probably would have done better if I had remembered my fly rods.
Full moon and all, it should have been a spawning weekend. I couldn't find them.
With that being said, I will be going back. Soon. It's a beautiful park, and an easy paddle.
