Gear for this water

For the trout (cutthroat trout on the season program here)

Dough bait rigs	floating dough bait 18 inches above a small egg sinker; hatchery fish know the smell
Casting spoons	1/8 to 1/4 oz in fluorescent or metallic; count down until you find the depth
Small crankbaits	trout-pattern cranks trolled or slow-retrieved off points

For the catfish (channel catfish on the season program here)

Cut bait and prepared baits	fresh cut shad or chicken liver; scent is everything
Rod holders	catfishing is a waiting game; fish two rods where legal
Medium-heavy rod	7 ft medium-heavy, 15 to 20 lb line, sturdy reel
