For bass at Pool 22, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.

For roaming fish at Pool 22, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye, and work a jig or small crankbait close to bottom for sauger.
For bottom fishing at Pool 22, use fresh cut shad on a strong bottom rig for blue catfish, and put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use live bait near wood or a deep hole for flathead catfish.
Other choices at Pool 22 include these plans: bounce a jig, worm or crayfish bait along firm bottom for freshwater drum.
Lake sturgeon at Pool 22 are uncommon and need careful release; a heavy bottom rig with natural bait is the basic fishing method where targeting them is legal.
Bighead and silver carp reported at Pool 22 are not normal hook-and-line targets, so do not build the day around ordinary bait or lure fishing for them.
Pick one part of Pool 22 and fish it slowly. At Pool 22, start with a moving lure on a point or cover edge, then use a jig, worm or minnow around the exact depth that produces a bite.
On a first trip to Pool 22, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
Spring around Pool 22 is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Pool 22 can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Pool 22, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
At Pool 22, choose one point, weed edge, patch of wood or old-channel bend near deeper water and test a few lure depths before making a long move.
No reliable maximum was found for Pool 22, so let lure contact and visible cover show where the useful drop begins.
Walleye fits the reported information for Pool 22, so begin with a lure and spot that suit that fish rather than guessing.
