We have a winter trout stocking program here in Kansas and have had good luck with small black and/or black/silver jigs. Layne was excited to catch this nice 17" Palomino trout on one of our recent trips:

My dad hailed from Kansas and we lived there for a few years when I was a child in the 50's. I don't recall ever hearing about trout fishing back then or even deer fishing. I do remember seeing my first deer track on my Grandad's farm outside of Kingman. We were told that it was extremely rare. Looks like both the fishing and hunting have changed in a good way.


The winter trout stocking program is fairly new and is a fun option during this time of year. You are right about the deer hunting, too. The first deer season took place in 1969 if I remember right and for many years permits were limited. I shot my first buck (with a bow) my senior year of HS in '79. The #'s are higher and the "good old days" of deer hunting are happening right now.
