I usually use something small, and flashy. In the summer, out here in Kalifornia, the trout are all in the white water portions of the stream. So anything will work. I just bought two new rods from Cabelas. One is a 4 wt., 7.5 ft. graphite with No. 1 Cahill reel, and line, etc. This will back up/replace my well used Berkely 7.5 ft. glass, 6 wt. rod. The other rod is a graphite 8.5 ft. 6 wt. for those bigger streams, or lakes, that we have up here. For lakes, I like something meaty, like a No.4, or even a No. 2, Muddler, or a black Woolly Worm. Usually I troll this very slowly behind a sinking line. E
