Gear for this water
The gauge reads 74 degrees: warm for trout. Fish first light, fight fish fast, and consider leaving them alone until it cools.
For the trout (rainbow trout on the season program here, moving water)
| Light spinning rod | 5 to 6.5 ft light or ultralight; short rods cast under branches |
| Inline spinners | 1/16 to 1/8 oz silver or gold; swing them across the current seams |
| Drifted bait | single salmon egg or half a crawler under light split shot, rolled along the bottom |
Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
