How to Read the Water

Season by Season

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a check of nearby water near the downwind side before changing areas, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
