Gear for this water

It has been a while since the trucks came. The holdovers have spread out and wised up; downsize and fish natural. The gauge reads 71 degrees: warm for trout. Fish first light, fight fish fast, and consider leaving them alone until it cools.

For the trout (cutthroat trout stocked 10 times here in 2026, moving water)

Drifted bait single salmon egg or half a crawler under light split shot, rolled along the bottom
Small jerkbaits floating minnows in the 2 to 3 inch class for the deeper bends
Waders or wet-wading boots stocked stream fish stack in the obvious pools; getting to the next one is the edge

Suggestions follow from what the state actually stocks here and what kind of water it is, nothing else. No sponsored placements.
