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.

For the trout (rainbow trout stocked 6 times here in 2026, moving water)

Inline spinners 1/16 to 1/8 oz silver or gold; swing them across the current seams
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

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