Welcome to the forum, Tony. Plenty of anglers have had success at Willow on yaks. I'd recommend trolling and casting big baits (6"-12") that look like rainbow trout or shad. It is best to use heavier tackle than you would for bass fishing as there is the potential to hook up with a trophy fish that will tear up your average rod and reel. A lot of guys fish saltwater gear down with 30# line. Search the NV forum with keyword "willow" and you will find some reports for more info.

I've been eying those as well. I wonder how long the pre-order takes and when they would ship.
