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 73 degrees: warm for trout. Fish first light, fight fish fast, and consider leaving them alone until it cools.

For the trout (rainbow trout stocked 4 times here in 2026, moving water)

Waders or wet-wading boots	stocked stream fish stack in the obvious pools; getting to the next one is the edge
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

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