Paddlefish at Pool 14 feed by filtering tiny food, so anglers use heavy snagging tackle during the legal season. Check the current rules for Pool 14 before going.

On a first trip to Pool 14, 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 14 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 14 can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
A medium spinning rod covers smaller lures at Pool 14, while a heavier rod and stronger leader are better for pike or muskellunge.
Pick one point, weed edge, patch of wood or old-channel bend at Pool 14 that sits beside deeper water, then test more than one lure depth before moving.
No reliable maximum was found for Pool 14, so use lure contact and visible cover to find the first useful drop.
Northern pike fits the reported information for Pool 14, so use a lure and spot made for that fish instead of guessing.
