Gear for this water

For the trout (rainbow 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

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