Whenever I go there, I just stop in at the growler place for a pint, then call it good.

Fyi be careful, you can only keep 1 trout per day over 20 inches.

Here is all that you need to know, to catch trout like crazy:

You're welcome. Another great rig is a torpedo bobber, 4' of leader, and an Olive Green or Black Woolly Bugger. Pinch a BB sized split shot onto the leader, about 12" above the Bugger. Reel in slowly. Then go even SLOWER! It's a wet fly. And fly's barely move. Good luck.

I use these colors, and style, of torpedo bobbers. Tie your main line onto the narrow end. And your leader onto the wide end.

I have woolly buggers, but would streamers also work with this rig? Thanks again

You're welcome. Have never tried streamers. So I don't know. The only other flies I've used, in that fashion, are Teeny Nymphs. My faves--of either Teeny's or Buggers--are Olive Green, Black, Brown, and sometimes other colors.

Yep. Any sort of fly can be used with these bobbers - and woolly buggers, FYI are just a type of streamer. It imitates a leech, but minnow imitations will work as well. Also - micro jigs work well under these.
