Waneta Lake Baitfish...

[Tigerhunter]

I am looking for the primary type of baitfish in Waneta Lake for Muskies. I am a big fan of using the closest I can to what they actually feed on. Any input would be great as this will be my first time fishing that lake and for pures in general.

Thanks,

Trevor

I was going to suggest golden shiners but I never fished for muskies in this lake. The lake I grew up on did not have alewives but had golden shiners and they were definitely musky candy. Are you trolling? 3 rods, use a perch, a golden shiner, and a alewive presentation.
