I hit the trout stream for about an hour and a half this morning. I hooked the largest trout I have ever pulled out of this stream on my second cast. I have simplified my trout fishing to a beaded wooly bugger first approach. That is if the wooly bugger doesn't score then I will change colors or nymph, and I will attempt to "match the hatch" as a last resort. This simple approach is really all you need when dealing with stocked trout. Tackle wise I have adjusted to the presence of some larger trout in this stream by moving up to a 5 wt with a 4X leader.
Overall, I got three rainbows. Two were quality and one was small; but I had a blast this morning!
