Gear for this water

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

Waders or wet-wading boots	stocked stream fish stack in the obvious pools; getting to the next one is the edge
Ultralight spinning rod	6 to 7 ft ultralight, 4 lb line; long casts from the bank
Dough bait rigs	floating dough bait 18 inches above a small egg sinker; hatchery fish know the smell

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
